Each of us has our own budget constraints. There are lots of nice strops that can be purchased for under $100. For example, Tony Miller currently has his 2 1/2" Plain Vanilla strop on sale for $45. It is not as elegant as Tony's premium strops, some of which do cost over $100.

The suggestions for reversing the direction of the strop to put the nick on the far side, do make sense if you do not wish to purchase a new strop at this time.
