You could, but a dull razor that is good for practicing stropping won't be a good honing practice. It would require a full arsenal of hones and good skills to make sharp. May be make a mock razor out of a piece of cardboard, or use a butter knife.
Or get a really cheap razor, so that it doesn't affect much the good razor budget.
