I've used both systems (strop before and strop before+after) with no noticeable differences in sharpness. That's why I've eliminated the aftershave stropping from my routine.

The mineral oil will definitely protect the exposed surfaces from corrosion.

I just give mine a quick wipe with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball. That also removes the soap residue while the cool water splash is drying on my face and I'm choosing an aftershave.
