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.
+1 ... EXACTLY! There are plenty of wedge/near wedge razors to be had out there in the wild, and at very reasonable prices. I know...I have dozens and dozens of these old Sheffields. They're popular because they are GREAT shavers. But....if you want perfection on a hundred plus year old blade, you're either gonna have to do the work yourself, or pay someone else to do it for you.

It's really as simple as that... IMO.
