    Don't jinx him. Lol. Just kidding. I believe it happens to us all. Too much speed, a moment of carelessness, all it takes.

    No biggie, I and almost everyone else has done that. I think your guess as to why is pretty close too. Remember it is only a strop and they can be fixed or another bought in replacement. The only caveat with strops is don't buy any that you can't afford to replace, it will hurt less that way.

    You can always get a new strop. A new neck, now that's a different story ...

    I have NEVER been able to do the spine flip, in honing or stropping. I am slower, but sure in picking up edge first and setting down spine first. Hell, I cannot shave with my left hand either! I watch guys strop in a frenzy and am much impressed.
    Never in much of a hurry, clumsy me!
