Wostenholm's IXL Patent Shaver Razor

Does anybody have any information on this razor that sold on eBay?. Here is the item number if the link does not work 200459119352 I have one just like it that I payed $36.00 for it from a antique store (it's not for sale), and I cannot find any information or any documentation for this razor. I know the company is well-known for straight razors and knives, but single edge razors they must have made a limited amount ?. I would like to use mine but I don't even know what type of razor blade it takes single edge or wedge ?. It must be a pretty special razor for someone to pay $220.00 for it on eBay. If you are the winning bidder of that auction and can shed some light on this razor please let me know. If someone else has one like it and can gave me some information on it and show me what type of razor blade that it uses and the way the blade goes in the razor I would appreciate it also. Thanks
 
Still looking for information on this razor. Also it appears that this razor may take a wedge razor blade, are all wedge razor blades the same size?. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Thank you amishmotorboat :thumbup: you have confirmed now that it does take a wedge blade and now I see also the correct way the blade holder attaches to the frame. I need to try to find a good wedge blade for it. I would like to have a copy of Waits Compendium in PDF but don't want to spend the $45 to buy a new one hoping that someone has a used copy that they want to sell or loaned me. Thanks again I appreciate it.
