I've had my Straight Razor Designs strop for less than a week and I nicked it tonight. I was trying to be careful and as soon as I touched it I hesitated and let the razor go back just a few millimeters, but it was enough to put a small gouge in the leather. It's at the bottom of the strop, so I can easily avoid it, but it's always going to serve as a reminder to keep my mind focused.

It was a beautiful strop.
