You would think so, but....

I think it depends on how long you wait. The very edge of the blade corrodes when exposed to air, and stropping has the nice effect of stripping off that corrosion. I can't imagine that it would make a difference for 1 day, but maybe for a few days...

I usually shave the night before so I'm not rushed. I find it very relaxing, and puts me in a good mood right before I go to sleep. With a full 3 pass shave, it is so close that I actually only need to shave every other day.
