    Just IMHO it is always best do the main stropping immediately before the shave. A light stropping following the shave to clean the edge of any micro gunk. Read what mparker has said about stropping removing corrosion (not visible to the naked eye) here.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I strop 20 times of so on leather after I shave to help dry it, then I put a little mineral oil on it. Right before next shave I wipe the razor off and give it a full stropping.

    I doubt you'd see any adverse effects from doing all of the stropping the day before, but I think for best results you should do it immediately before you shave. I'm sure even over a day the edge can start to rust microscopically which stropping immediately before the shave would take care of. But as I said, I don't think this would make ALL that of a difference, but maybe just a little.
