    The writing in question is incorrect to begin with, which probably isn't making it easier to understand.

    Infused a dry edge is strictly cubistic.

    Apparently Robert said something in response to his father that caused his father distress or, at the least, was neither well received nor appreciated.

    It means Robert's tone of voice was harsh, making his father unhappy. "Dry edge" is like a shaving razor that's dry rather than smooth and wet.

    Robert added some dry humor to that response which caused his father to frown.

    Robert said his words with such a sarcastic voice that they caused his father to get upset.
