I am going into the marble and wire business. I swear I think I can make some money at $32 for something absolutely useless! Does anyone want to invest in my new business?

Remember glass Lilycaps? They work for DE blades.
I dont think that would really work so well..! I guess thats why we're all still using strops and not something that looks like a prop from Naughty Cheerleaders Part II.
in fact it does work. they have been around for decades .
now this one i can see for a beginner like me or just some neat tool to have around

I agree with both A and B, but back when I was a fire bug, I found strike every where matches ignited very well when struck against glass, so there must be some level of abbrasion to a marble. However, it probably isn't enough to work on a razor. Not to mention the concave bevel you brought up.
Heck, take a coat hanger, and a couple marbles and make your own...who needs to spend $40 when you can make one for about 5¢ :p
Really very similar to some of the hand held knife sharpeners they have now just that they don't use marbles. They use abrasive disks.
