yep happened to me the other week after years of care free strop slapping i caught me wosternholm only slightly and you cant feel it and then i seen a strop on sotd i think that had a few scars from over the years and in some way it looked good like a pair of boots that have been worn in
I've never done that...................................but I know that I could at any time.
I've definitely done that. I sanded it smooth with a nail file and conditioned it. It's not perfect but at least the razor doesn't catch on it. A real disappointment!
‘‘Tis But a Scratch”
Started with an old strop to learn before getting a new SRD.
Now I only do it to new strops!
Done it to an SRD English Bridle and an SRD "Roo".
Small nicks but an aggravation :gaah::gaah::gaah:
I can always make another.

I continued stropping/shaving yesterday and looked at the razor under my scope this morning and I am surprised there wasn't damage done to that.
I must be a very poor honemeister.:shrug:
An inevitable outcome that we all already have and will keep doing.
Trimmed it out and sanded it with 1000 grit. A little neatsfoot oil. About 5 or 6 drops for the whole strop and then burnished it with my brass grass hopper.
The damaged area really turned black. :shrug:
As you can see in the previous pictures the strop has sure discolored since I made it in 2013. I can see why most strops are dark in color.
This one might be due soon for a paste experiment.....:D
