The scales are most likely dyed buffalo horn, and the blade looks to be reground. If so, and it was reground well, it will shave just fine!

I agree it looks to be reground as I believe this model was originally a near wedge.

a true wedge pipe with same scales is located in the library:
Wostenholm, George & Son "Pipe" 5/8 3 - Straight Razor Place Wiki
Maybe the same scales were used on diferent models?

Of course. And vice versa, the same blades with different scales.
Don't forget the companies made thousands of razors during many years.
Everything is changing.

Wostenholm. Love them! The smaller ones are ok, but the bigger, the better IMHO!

I rest my case.

Thanked: 4 French point "Whisker Razor" Wostenholm
I thought a picture of this 1/2" French point (at least, that's what I think it is) might be of interest - haven't seen another one like it in this thread. I picked it up at a flea market for $9 USD. Manah thinks it might date to around 1891. Including a shot of the coffin, which is also in pretty good shape.
