Thread: Repairing cut in strop....

Jimmy is right. you can do that or it is very small in the over hand you could just cut that small peace carefully. i don't think it will hurt much.

I've seen old strops used that had been cut into oblivion over the years and they work fine. Just as long as it's sanded down or the flaps don't hit the razor when you're stropping. The rest is merely aesthetic, imo.

I did the same thing to one of my stops about a month ago. I second what JimmyHAD said; apply a very thin coat of contact cement, smooth it flat and then wipe off any excess. Wait until it dries, then lightly sand it (I think I used 800 grit sandpaper). It will smooth out, good as new!
