I strop the razor that I used for the morning shave at some point during the day that's convenient for me. 30 laps on linen, 60 laps on leather. Back into the rotation it goes and doesn't get touched until after I use it again. I've been doing it this way for a long time and it works well for me.

Others have commented on stropping. One thing I would say is for me anyways. I found it detrimental to my learning to switch off from one blade to another like you mentioned. Each razor will require a different touch and swapping them out just hinders the learning in my opinion. I have been SR shaving for a year now and feel I have a a descent technique but it always takes a couple of shaves to get used to a different blade still.

Maybe the best answer is Razorfeld's...do what works for you. I agree though that there's no need to rest a blade, and no reason not too, as long as it's put away clean and dry in a non-humid plaice.
