Chas. Hufschmidt ?
I was wandering through an antique store today and saw a razor that I cannot find anything about. Has anyone heard of it?
On the blade it read: "Chas. Hufschmidt St. Louis, Mo." The other side had "cyclone 67" on it.
All I had was my treo with me, so this is the only image I could get.

I found out there was a Charles Hufschmidt in St. Louis around 1900 who was a big business guy. In 1896 there was a horrible cyclone in St. Louis....
Got me thinking... do people imprint, etch, or whatever you want to call it... their names or nicknames on straight razors? The place I bought this from said it is a Robeson Straightedge. So maybe what I'm looking at is a R.S, but with a custom imprint.
Is that possible?

It is possible. I was under the impression that while companies would put a vendor's imprint on the tang they would also have their own somewhere on the razor ? Robeson made a high quality razor but from the photo I wouldn't buy that one. If you are getting it dirt cheap and it turns you on maybe but there is not enough blade there to suit me.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
