    One thing I liked that the 1961 barber manual excerpt suggested was practicing the flip before you ever touch the strop. Seems like that was where I went astray when I first began. Nicked up a couple, but as Kaptain Zero said, contact cement and sandpaper work wonders.

    Here is the PDF, might give you something to go with ;

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
