Here's what I'm doing in penance. Since it's the right edge that's nicked, I'm switching to holding the strop with my right and holding the razor with my left. Forces me to be slower since it's the non-dominant hand. Working so far.
@Headcrowny,
That's why I took my new strop and sharpies the word "Nick" on it. Voila. Not a nick yet.
