I'm not familiar with an Autostrop, but from what I've guessed is they are similar in a way. My take on the Autostrop is a strop runs through the razor between the handle and blade and you run it back and forth on a strop?
Here's a pictorial guide to mah Rolls Razor...
At the top is the travel case with spare blade in a holder, then the shave handle. From left to right is the hone, case body which contains the operating handle with blade attached, then the strop.
Blade being honed, mid stroke
Blade being stropped, mid stroke
Blade removed from operating handle, next to the shave handle
Blade mounted to shave handle, side view (the safety bar can pivot to either side of the blade for honing/stropping)
Full frontal
That'll do
