Everybody's first strop has those decorations :-)
As has been mentioned, pumice them smooth, then brush them with a dry cloth, wash with a damp cloth, then recondition with your favorite strop conditioner.
If you use the X pattern when stropping this helps prevent nicks because you've got that extra motion during the flip that tends to slow the flip down a bit.

If you don't have a strop conditioner, get some mink oil. I use it for my strops to a good effect and it's cheap. One tub of it will last forever.
