I am learning everything, but my strop has some interesting lines on the right hand side. I think the majority is lack of skill and knowledge, but I think the next image has something to do with it.

If you can see the very tip of razor, has a weird ding? and about 3/4" inward there is another ding. The main thing I am noticing is that every time I strop it, these two sections get small amounts of leather stuck in them. Once again, I am learning everything as this is the first time I have ever had a straight edge, but I did watch Lynn's video and have been reading around on here a lot. Thanks for any help you can give.
