Stropping on one side?

Hi,
I have a straight razor that has a slight defect on one side but in good condition at the other side. Can I strop only one side and shave using this side only?

Thanks.

Probably not. You need both sides of the bevel to be clean and sharp...

I'm having a hard time imagining a defect that would only affect one side of the blade, as well... have a picture?

I think the best advice would be to give it a try and find out. Unfortunately, your information is too incomplete to lead to anything more conclusive. Sorry.
