Those scales wont do.

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.
