Thread: Strop Advice

I have nicked my strop ever so slightly. The damage are very small superficial surface cuts. Is a quick sand with very fine sandpaper ok? Do I need to worry about them? See pic below, ignore shading its just shadow.

I have also taken a photo of the reverse of the strop. It much rougher in texture but looks like made well/intentionally. Is this a linen type sub??

The stop is marked: Maker P. A. Brown 011 Australia

Any help very much appreciated
