    Welcome to SRP. So sorry I'm late to the party. There's plenty to learn here & many knowledgable members here so ask away when you need to.
    Here's some stropping information:

    Oh & if you don't have a lot of experience in honing, I would send it out to a pro for honing.
    Good luck my friend!

    Welcome. I had a nick like that, and I noticed it because it put a deep scratch in my strop. I guess better the strop than my face, but my advice is to definitely hone it, which seems to be the consensus here. Good luck!

    Nothing wrong with a 2 inch strop Seth... In fact one of my favorite strops is a 2 inch vintage Cordovan Shell strop, which I use quite regularly. It's very easy to develop a good X pattern using it and should be perfect for your small 4/8 Boker.

    Never seen a vintage 3 inch strop. Should learn the x pattern anyway its the best way to ensure the entire edge gets stropped properly
    My wife calls me......... Can you just use Ed
