For every shave over the course of a liftetime, yes.
For the OP, you can probably get away with this for now just to keep your razor going and your shaves smooth. But you'll find with experience and improved shaving and stropping technique that your edges will start to last longer and longer.
Just as an example, nowadays I can count on one hand how many times I have to pull out a hone or pasted strop in a year.
