I’ve seen too many tapered heels and on new or near-new razors for this to be a coincidence. I think that the heel width is thinner to keep it from sticking out of the bottom of the scales if the scales are curved. If the blade is too wide for curved scales, the heel will be the first to protrude. I have a couple of beefy NOS Filly 14s that the heels get pretty close. This would mean that the blade is made to fit the scales and not the reverse. That makes sense if the scales are pre-made by a third party and you try to get the widest blade into them.
