    nchoppin,

    Welcome to Straight Razor Place.

    If the nicks on the edges of your strop are minor, that is not a problem. If you can, sand them down a wee bit and move on. Slow down your stropping, pull the strop taught without overdoing it, and let the weight of the razor be all the pressure you need.

    I oil my razors after each shave just to be safe.

    Welcome to SRP.

    I nicked my strop several times during it's life. I just sand it a bit and it's good to go.

    If I don't use a razor for over a week, then I'll oil it up for storage. Otherwise, for a razor that I frequently use (at least 2x weekly), I'll oil the pivot every 2-3 weeks. I use baby oil (mineral oil) and a dropper.

    Enjoy the shaves!
