    Here's a great tip. Lift the edge off the strop before you finish the stroke. Start moving back in the opposite direction before finishing the flip. Keep the spine on the leather at all times.

    If you do that, you won't nick your strop because you will always be moving, edge trailing.

    Btw: afdavis taught me that one.
