Thread: The Venture Straight Edge Safety Razor T Glossop Sheffield

If you use the search you’ll find my detailed thread about a T Glossop ‘Joy Forever’ razor I got, during my research I found this on a local history site...lots of info on Glossop with photos and details of your Kno Kut safety razor, which he invented: Totley History Group - Thomas Glossop

I have a Thomas Glossop Firth Stainless razor that I would date to the 1920s. it's a 5/8" 3/4 hollow blade in blonde celluloid scales and it's a very good shaver. It's a shoulderless design, which is unusual for Sheffield blades of this date. This is possibly one of the first stainless razors made in Sheffield - but apparently it didn't take and the British razor makers stuck with carbon steel until they went out of business in the 1960s.
