    Yes, stropping DE blades on the inside of a glass was common in the dirty 30s Depression. I have a green glass Lillicrap's Hone for DE blades, no I couldn't make that name up, from the UK made pre WWII. Couldn't say if that worked or not.

    DE stropping tools might be a good thread. Lots of versions to win over from the straight users.

    Many of them tried to imitate the straight style.
