Kell's Original was one of my first shaving soaps. They were located in southern Missouri and I would find their products in small-town pharmacies and gift shops. It provided a great shave for a glycerine-based soap if I remember correctly. I think they went out of business some time ago.
I've had this tin of it for years. It's too bad they're out of business.

Nice! I thought you were shaving with Tawn shaving soap! It took me many moons to find a NOS bowl of it. If you ever find the vintage stuff, its an excellent vintage tallow soap!

I see its Haslinger, which is fantastic stuff too! Cheers!
