Hi, I've shaved 3 times and every time it has gotten better, closer and less irritation. But every time I strop I seem to nick the outside edge of the the strop on the right hand side only(right handed) and on both ends. It doesn't nick every path but once in a while on the leather side id catches the edge of the strop and it puts a little cut in it. It happens when I'm doing the flipping and I always flip on the spine! Maybe my hand is slipping and I accidently put the edge into the strop just for a second before I flip on the spine. They're tiny little cuts but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong when it happens once in a while?
