Well, it had to happen sooner or later. I finally nicked my strop after shaving with the straight for around 2 months now. Just when you think things are getting more comfortable and 2nd nature; that's when that nice sharp blade reminds you that it is a thing to be respected. Let's just hope that this lesson learned on leather is rememberd while I take that sharp piece of steel to the living leather that is my face.

(It wasnt a bad nick and it is all the way at the top end...a little fillet with no rough edges)
