    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.

    Pic 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.

    So I have not mastered posting images up here on SRP yet, but I have a link to the image.

    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

    So all i need to do is get some regular wood sandpaper and smooth out that small region there?
