Wedge style safety razors

I'm curious as to how many different safety razors were sold that were designed to be honed and stropped. They always end up as oddities in the shaving world and right now I can only remember a few

Rolls
Star
Valet Autostrop (sort of... the blades aren't really wedges).

It's too bad those stars are so expensive :lol:.

Here is that seven day set what I was looking for and finaly I can see taht this one has a strop place in the box. Shame that there is no a picture of it.
 
Here's a Heljestrand that does have a strop. Notice the strop has a built in blade mount between the two sides of the strop looped over a "pulley". You mount the wedge in the holder, hang the strop and then slide the strop first one way and then the other.

Also, notice the day of the week blades are in French.
 
I love these. Putting on 2009-glasses, it's so far fetched and odd. It's a straight! It's a DE! No wait, it's a thingamajiggy!
