Of course I nicked my strop.
Kinda minor. No flap to surgically remove. I sanded it down with fine sand paper. I rubbed the area with a fine honing stone. Massaged oil onto the whole strop. It’s totally smooth now and not super noticeable.
But. Now there’s a “slow” spot where the repair is. I can feel it grab the blade when I run over it.
1) is this bad? Like will it damage my edges? 2) if so, is there a way to bring that repaired spot back to the same slickness as the rest of the strop?
