Good Morning?

Yikes! So, as I prepared to strop my razor this morning, I did what I'm reading many have done, and allowed the edge of my razor to contact something hard and perpendicular, thereby inadvertently put a small nick in the edge of my blade near the heel. I think the edge of the strop caught and connected with the blade's edge when it slipped from my hand. I can now see a glint of light on the edge of the blade and stropping on leather left a small scratch or 2 in the strop and I could see a small build-up of leather in the blade.

I've managed to get the scratches out of the strop with light sanding and conditioning, so I'm not concerned about that.

My question is, how do I address this nick in the edge of my blade? I have yet to invest in sharpening and honing equipment as I'm still a beginner. Is this something I should and can repair with some basic knowledge of blade refreshing gleaned from Lynn's videos or is this something I should send or take to someone for honing? My next planned investment was to get the Norton waterstone 3-piece set and attempt restoring an edge when the time was right. That time has come sooner than I suspected. But I wonder if this is more than I should attempt given my level of (in)experience.

Fortunately, this is not my only razor, so I will not have to forfeit the enjoyment of a good shave!

Any guidance would be much appreciated. I'm in Philadelphia, PA so if any experienced members are nearby and could offer a hand, I'd be happy to repay with food, drink, money, and/or eternal gratitude for saving me from having to ship my razor for repair.

Cheers!
