Nic in strop
Well it had to happen, as i have read about but, Ive just noticed a nic in my strop a third of the way in. I dont even know how i did it, its a little nic right on the edge. Luckily its my first cheap strop.
So what best to do? ignore it for now? dont use that part (even tho its in the worst possible place)?
I would like to use it more as i do plan on buying a nice one but i best get lots more practice i think.
Cheers MW.

Got a picture?
If its not too bad it may be OK to just ignore if its worse you may be able to sand it outRegards

Can the cut be glued back together or are you missing a piece? I have a number of vintage strops and some of them have nicks and pieces missing. Thus far no problem.

Bravo, Wiskey.
If you check out Glen's 3/11 tips for beginners on stropping, you'll see he's still using a very old, often nicked and sanded Illinois strop. 'Hurts the price to see them nicked, but they're usually still fine for doing their job.
