is there ridges around the nick?
Will there be pictures?
is it possible to turn the leather upside down?
if 1 is no and you dont feel it when stropping it will probably not do any damage

Here is a picture of what happened to my razor, with a dime in there to give you some perspective.

Thanked: 12Pic is not showing up for me.
I nicked my starter strop right in the middle pretty good. I cut the hanging part off and sanded the whole strop. Then I did the lather and beer bottle trick. Still worked good until I got my SRD English Bridle strop.

Let me know if the depth of this nick means doom or not.

oh just that...
i imagined that you had cut a piece out of the side of the strop
good wetdry sandpaper or a pumice stone to round off the edges should be all you need to do
