[QUOTE=stfuracing;1444263]I'm curious how you would nick up or slice up your strop? If your running your blade backwards I find that difficult. What mistake causes it so I know better to avoid it.

Like utopian stated, mostly happens during the "flip". You end up going to fast or not paying attention and don't complete the flip before changing directions. I would recommend a cheap strop to start with. Maybe look at the poor mans strop at Whipped Dog as a starter or like I said earlier the modular paddle strop from SRD.The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

To answer your question about razors in the classifieds. I would say anything is better than a GD razor so you can only get something better

Welcome aboard!
I see there are already some valuable tips given (by incredibly talented folks) so I will just add this regarding "How to nick your strop." If you think about not doing it, you probably WILL do it. All it takes is about 2mm of movement - or less - to cut into the leather or worse yet THROUGH the brand new Kangaroo strop you got as a gift*.
*no, I did not.
Again, welcome to SRP. I love this place.
