I received a Walkin' Horse horsebutt strop for Christmas. As I was rubbing in some conditioning oil, I felt a rough spot. Upon closer examination, there is an area about the size of a nickel that is sort of rippled - not much at all, it is almost imperceivable. It feels like five or six very shallow parallel indentations. In fact, when I bend the strop at that point, it dissappears. I am pretty sure this is no big deal, but I was wondering if any small imperfection in a strop is a bad idea for the razor's sake.

Thanks to any who respond - I know I not giving you guys much to go on!
