Introducing Kilroy, a shave soap inspired by the iconic WWII graffiti tag, "Kilroy was here." This phrase traces back to James J. Kilroy, a shipyard inspector during WWII who marked sections he inspected with "Kilroy was here" to prevent fraudulent claims by riveters. As American troops saw these markings on wartime ships and vehicles, they began to leave the graffiti wherever they were stationed, turning it into a symbol of American presence and camaraderie.
Our Kilroy shave soap embodies this playful spirit with its unique blend of blood orange and anise, offering a scent that’s as adventurous as its namesake. The rich, citrusy notes combined with a hint of sweet spice provide a refreshing shaving experience, capturing the essence of the historical Kilroy’s adventurous streak. Perfect for those who appreciate a touch of history and a great story in their grooming routine, let Kilroy make its mark in your daily ritual.
Ingredients: Stearic acid, coconut oil, shea butter, castor oil, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, distilled water, glycerin, fragrance
Customer Reviews
Kilroy Was Here is one of two Herc sets I picked up over the holidays last Christmas (2024) and it’s fantastic! Anise, blood orange, ocean freshness and a touch of leather. It’s fresh with a little spiciness to it and has a touch of licorice scent in the background. I’m really enjoying this scent a lot!
I came for the label and the spirit, I came back for the quality and the work! This soap is created by someone who knows their stuff, it lathers and covers well. The scent of Killroy is a very pleasant thing, the anise and blood orange blend gives off this feeling of fresh cleanliness, I love it.
"Kilroy Was Here" was both an American expression and a cartoon doodle that became popular during WW
Il. It grew to represent the resilience and camaraderie of American military members.
This is my first set from Herc Soap Co. and I had no problem picking this one out the last time I was at the razor company. The simple combination of blood orange, anise and spices is straightforward, captivating and in my opinion….amazing! The vegan base whips up a rich lather quickly and the alcohol free splash soothes while it continues this awesome fragrance.
Scent Description: Anise Blood Orange, Anise and spices
