Will a nicked strop ruin the edge of a razor? I have nicked up my seconds strop and am hoping its still serviceable. The nicks are mainly at the ends so I could just use the middle portion but this would mean more laps.

What do you guys think?


Also I'm pretty sure I dulled the edge of the shave ready I got from Joe. I think maybe my pasted paddle can fix it up, but where should I start (3, 1, .5, .25)?
