hi all
new to straight razor. was happy with 1st 2 days-- actually able to get 2 shaves in without mutilating myself. perhaps overconfident with my stropping, must have moved the blade unevenly and nicked by stop today. I've read about gluing, sanding, leaving alone, etc. mind looking at this and giving me an opinion on which/any/nothing to do? Do stops get nicked and still ok to use? I assume because they're not a grinding/sharpening surface it's ok to have some irregularity unlike a hone? Please tell me I didn't just ruin a brand new strop. Because that would in fact be something that I am quite capable of.

advice to the newbie? thanks.
