I suck at stropping. Brushing soap on is fine, shaving going great and I've followed almost all beginner advice, including a 4 month prep with brush, soap, safety razor prep phase. Got my Hart Steel 6/8 and leather strop 2 weeks ago. I've nicked the hell outta the strop, always on the "rollover on the spine". it looks like i'm doing it right, but it's obviously not. got over 15 small nicks at the top and scrapes on bottom, middle is fine.
Is it dangerous to the blade at this point? should i ditch it? is there a way to fix it?
