I never actually nicked my strops but in my earlier shaving days I was apparently doing too exaggerated an X motion and was dragging the shank along the strop so I was getting these scratches at the top and bottom of the strop. Once I realized that it stopped happening.

Sparks, Nevada Police report last night Homer La Fong Died while shaving with his straight razor. His wife reported he was using his Iwasaki Razor and while shaving his neck it just seemed to have a mind of its own and came to life and cut his throat. Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.
