The most impressive thing, really, isn't that you didn't slice the strop, but that you didn't ruin your edge! As others have said, you have the right touch.

I'd say if you didnt nick the strop by stropping in reverse you didnt actually do anything to the edge & it simply degraded.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

+1 What Onimaru said. I find it very hard to believe that edge was touching the strop. (not saying it didn't) Almost makes me want to experiment but leather isn't cheap :<0)
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
