It'll kind of work out (timing between honings) once you get the hang of it. But you do eventually need to hone them, especially if you ding the edge somehow.

Also there seem to be hone guys and strop guys. I'm a strop guy, when they need a touchup they go on the pasted strops. Maybe once or twice a year they go on the hone but they probably don't even need that much. If there's no damage a pasted strop can keep the bevel fresh for a remarkably long time.
