Do I get to refresh the blade as needed with a stone that makes an ok shaving edge without stropping? Cause if that's the case I have a few that will do the job. But I also know from experience it won't be as enjoyable at the end of the day.

IMO his hones only maintenance program isn't too farfetched. You just need hones that create an exceptionally comfortable shave, or enjoy that prickly fresh off the stones feeling.
