Yes... no matter what I do it seems to get better.

I have stopped nicking my strop, but the way I flip the blade in anticipation of the next flip... makes the last one more important...

I do...

The last strop I saw posted with great pride looked like it was thrown under the deck of a very capable lawn mower... and the caption read: still works fine...

I hope that wasn't yours... Didn't...

I'd rather strop on his most excellent cat than his strop... even at this time...

I'm pretty sure I'd never nick his cat, but if I ever nicked his strop... I'd never forgive myself...

LOL!

Yep, after my first nick I got some invaluable instruction here: Razor stropping - Straight Razor Place Wiki

After my second nick I went back to the above link and let AFDavis11's info sink more...

After the second nick my skill level improved greatly and mysteriously.
