FWIW, I strop before and after every shave, and my edges are very stable and perform very well.

Ya I take there advice on resting my blades but I like to give my blade a few light strops to ensure the edge is completely dry. I have read that an edge will start to rust in 5 min. so I like to make sure it is completely dry as soon after use as possible.
