Precisely why I suspect this (our) Mr Halsted (If this is indeed the man whose name is on the razors) to have been a businessman, knowledgeable of all manufactured items in order to have this post. Same sort of man who marketed razors with his name upon them as well as most anything else. There have been thousands who did!
