if the edge is shaped properly why not? pretty sure dovo knows a thing or two about razors....

They used to think back in the old days that a razor needed to be "rested" to allow for the steel to hold it's structure. We know now that this isn't the case and that you can use the same razor each and every day with a good stropping. Barbers used the same razor on each customer but always stropped in between shaves.

Read my comment about barbers stropping between shaves. Better yet, try shaving without stropping and then with stropping between shaves and let us know your results.

Also, at times the interpretation of the word gets confused and when they say stropping as in this case they actually mean a touchup on a hone.
