Herc Soap Company- Shave Soap- Kilroy Was Here

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.

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.

Herc Soap Co. shave soaps feature classic and new fragrances and pay homage to the military tradition.  

We were the first to bring this unique company to Canada.   Dakoda took a break from artisan soap making to focus on his family and military career.   Over the last few months, Dakoda has been bringing back his unique brand and we are thrilled to have it.
