Not likely you can put things right at this stage without some corrective honing. Take up Glen's offer of repair & focus on you stropping & shaving skills.

Your suggestion of sending it away may be correct but i need to know whati did wrong before resorting to sendingitaway and making the same mistake.
None of us were there to know what you did wrong initially but the most common mistakes in stropping are heavy pressure & mis-strokes that cause the edge to be rolled over or otherwise damaged while nicking the strop. You would not be the first person to have this experience so be patient with yourself
