While it is true that deformations in the edge will relax somewhat over a 24-48 hour period, I see no reason why stropping after a shave would have any harmful effect. All it would do is speed up the relaxation.

Logically, if stropping realigns the edge after a rest, it would also be expected to realign the edge after a shorter rest, or no rest at all. If the edge were so deformed that stropping would damage it, then a 48 hour rest is not going to fix it. Anything that is that badly out of line is probably well and truely bent and cannot be bent back without causing a fatigue failure.

Post shave stropping will certainly dry the edge, but so will a couple of passes on a towel or sheet of tissue. Personally, I only strop before the shave, but I dry the blade with a stropping motion on a towel before I put the razor away. I do let my blades rest, typically about a week between shaves with each razor.
