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.
