Let's toss the question back to you: Do you want a wedge razor to restore for your own use, or to then sell for a (large) profit? If the latter, then that's the cost of doing business, which you'll pass on to the buyer; if the former, then that's the buy-in cost for the privilege of building "sweat equity" and ending-up with your sweet razor.

Here's my suggestion: Find someone selling a "naked blade" -- a full or near wedge -- in the size you fancy, and buy-and-restore it. Then, if you're not into making scales for it, there are any number of SRP members who are.
