Does it have to be done fast? Or can you take your time if you are new and still achieve the same goal?
Also, can you strop the night before a shave?

I think what hes asking is Does the speed of stropping effect heat and friction for a better or worse strop?

I strop before and after the shave. I've done the night before thing, and it seemed ok. Before and after seems to be the best, for me. It really (believe me) doesn't take that long to strop though.
Place the razor on the strop then zip it to the top, flip the razor place it on the leather then zip it to the bottom. You will get much more quality laps this way.
Either way you want to do it
No ... stand with your back against the wall, pull the strop between your legs, bend over, touch your forehead to the handle, make a short invocation in a dead language you don't understand ... and strop! It's simple.

I can see SWMBO walking in and saying "What are you doing?!?!"
Me: Straight shaving, duh.
