    Take your time is all I can say. You'll get better at it. But take the time now to focus on your technique. the bigger problem now is that those nicks can damage your edge. There are some threads here on repairing nicked strops. Hopefully you didn't buy a really nice one to start.
    I am by no means an expert on this, and I probably need to do more research myself, but I repaired mine by cutting off any large chunks that were sticking up, then using a pumice stone to smooth/sand any roughness out of the edges all along the strop. You can also use a pumice stone all along the surface to increase the draw of the strop.

    Now that you've heard my advice, here's some advice from people who know what they're talking about:
