I'm getting the shaving down okay, and enjoying that part. My problem comes when stropping my razors. I have two new Dovo razors that were honed by Mr Abrams, so I know they were in great condition. After my shaves, I did about 20 passes on the strop and even going slow, i am putting in several small nicks on my strop. It is a 3" black latigo strop. The nicks are not large or deep, but they are on the top and bottom of the strop and all of them are towards the handle. Like I said, I am going slow and really trying to make sure I do it like I've seen in the videos. I've sanded the nicks down so they are smooth, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong to cause all the nicks. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
