UK makers

[narrowman]

I have been forming an interest in vintage straight razors of late since becoming an SR user. Yet another rabbit hole!!!

As a Brit, I was just wondering if anybody knows which company was the last maker of straight razors in the UK and when they packed it in. I don't mean small artisan chaps who make bespoke/custom one-offs etc. but makers of razors out for general sale to 'Joe Public'.

I don't know about who stopped making straights when,
but two companies which made high end straights
and are both still in business are
Wilkinson Sword
and
Mappin and Webb.
