I'm pretty sure it wasn't Norris. None of his listings use the heart symbol. Here's the 1774 Gales & Martin entry for Fox & Norris:



The only mark I can find that I think is a good match is Jonathan Pitchford, but the way it's presented in the book makes it unclear if he was using two different marks (as many did) or a single mark incorporating all the elements.



I've definitely seen Pitchford razors that are P(heart)ford. It doesn't seem out of the question that P (heart) could also be his mark, but I wouldn't count on it!
