I keep telling myself I don’t nick my strop, but the little devils keep showing up.

I don't anymore, although my speed has really gone up, and sometimes I have a tendency to get ahead of myself so I have to back off a bit. I'll get goin' too fast and get confused as to where I'm at. So far, no accidents.
Any of you ever see LX Emergency's (Alex)video? Wow! That boy can really fly!

I've actually never knicked my strop, though there are two small ones from the strop's previous owned. Up till a few days ago, I'd never dropped a razor, and I've never damaged any of my razor's edges (while shaving, rinsing, etc). I must just be a careful shaver...

I haven't nicked mine for months, but sometimes I will leave a scratch from the toe when doing the "X" pattern. It's always on the down stroke and buffs out with the palm of the hand. One time I gave her a good rubdown with the Chinese 12k and seemed to smooth out any small nicks that resulted from flipping the blade when first learning. I'm so glad that my edges are free from cuts, I love my 3" Tony Miller and would hate to see her share the same fate as my practice strop.
