I usually strop in the AM before my shave maybe a few laps after. The longer between shaves with that blade the more important to do it immediately before the shave in my opinion. Same everyday razor the day before isn't going to make a difference. A month since I last used this one I am going to do it that day.

If efficiency/time saving is what you are after. I would just go to bed 5 minutes earlier and get up 2 minutes earlier and gain 3 minutes of sleep!

I lather then let is soak 1 to 2 minutes while I get the razor off the shelf and strop. If that time to strop makes me late for work I wouldn't shave.
