Thanked: 0Stropping With Nicks In Leather
Hi, so I have a Jemico leather strop that I've had for about 4 years and would use it on my knives. Now this was my first strop and I'm sure you understand when I say I did quite a bit of damage to it when I was first learning. The edges have a good amount of nicks. I recently took some 800-1000 grit sandpaper and sanded down all the tiny ones and got it a lot smoother and put more paste on it. Now my question is, I'm new to SR shaving and was wondering if I could do any damage to the edge if it does still have a few nicks that weren't sanded almost flush. All of them are going the same direction as I strop so it wouldn't be snagging or anything like that. I also REALLY don't want to have to buy another one lol! Thanks!
