If your razor is sharp (shave ready) you don't need to hone it that often. You can use single razor for few months before you need to show it some hone.

You need to strop your razor every time before using it. No matter if you do it at night before or just before shaving but stropping is essential.
It takes some time, patience and practice before you learn to strop properly, but if you've already done that with good results then you are ok.
