    Stropping re-aligns the edge, so conversely insufficient stropping also would lead to needing honing sooner due to degradation of the edge.

    I do not believe that stropping causes any harm to an edge. The degree of convexing of an edge by leather is trivial and the benefits far outweigh the supposed detriment.
