Thanked: 1587I can't see any harm with continuing your approach, but as others said I've not seen much in the way of evidence to suggest resting is a "thing". Even supposing it is a thing I think stropping would dominate any resting effect.
On a side topic, one thing I have noticed with myself is that having a large rotation can in fact induce a bit of a "honing laziness" where you put off honing a razor as long as possible (and probably past the point where it really should be done) because there are so many others to use instead. Eventually what can happen (I know because I have this friend....) is that you repeat this process over an over until you are down to maybe one or two razors that shave OK, and you have 20 or 30 in dire need of honing. I guess that's not really an issue for you if you send your razors out, but I guess the point is a rotation is only as good as its dullest razor. Oh, and don't prohonecrastinate (did you see what I did there? Hone + procrastinate = prohonecrastinate...
