I don't know if this is ok but I took a piece of 2000 grit sandpaper and gave the nicks a few gentle passes. I then wiped off with damp cloth. Seems to be better now.

When I strop, when you say for example 50 laps, is that each side or together (25 per side)?

I was successfull again tonight. I did my right and left side of face, half my chin, and 3/4s of my dominant side neck with no nicks!! Can't wait until tomorrows shave.
