The edge we want to create on the razor is finer than for almost any other purpose. As a result, I imagine that failing to complete laps (up and back) on the hone especially would result in a rolled edge all on one side, the last side you honed. The ultra fine razor's edge benefits from the up and back routine because it keeps both sides of the edge progressing at precisely (or as nearly so as can be managed) the same rate. I doubt you'd be successful with what you plan.
