Indeed, it cannot be overstated: stropping is quite underestimated, and a vital part of straight shaving, both in usefulness as well as adding to the charm of the entire straight shaving affair.
Besides the valuable addition to the forum in the form of Stroptober (lots of visual aids), also check out the very comprehensive wiki entry at our own SRP library on stropping. I found it very useful when starting out:

You'll hear no argument from me.
My near-wedge Boker was honed (by me) when I received it in Feb '12. Hasn't seen a stone since, nothing but leather. Getting a couple more months off that wouldn't surprise me.Grazor likes this.

Yes, I will attest to the fact that stropping is really important! I have razors that I haven't sharpened since last July and they still shave just fine!
