That's why you have to hunt them in the wild. I've found two. $30 for the one on top and $6 for the bottom one. I'll probably sell the top one once restored as it should finance many new toys. The bottom ones a keeper though. I've fallen in love with the spine.

That geometry is very odd and most certainly not the typical 'overhoning the heel' result. There is no significant hone wear on the spine, the lines are crisp and the surfaces do not show sanding/buffing work.
The coloring is a bit strange, but it may be your lighting.
If I'm to venture a guess I'd say there was a damage to the edge and somebody removed the steel to clear it, but clearly did not intend to make a shaving tool out of it.
It seems to me he paid way too much for such amateurish work - see how all the lines are rounded from the overzealous grinding and buffing. I'd also bet money that it was ~1/4" wider when it was produced.
BTW, there are no 'full wedge' razors, except may be some very early 'knives' that were used for shaving. Full wedge geometry requires a shim along the spine for honing, like the framebacks, which again brings it to an effective hollowed out geometry.
