This is the first time I have been made aware of Murphy and McNeil soaps. Since the company seems to be a vendor of traditional shaving supplies (not just soaps and aftershaves), I wondered whether they made their own soaps, or whether another artisan made the soaps for them. The ingredients are similar to Noble Otter, but not identical. Both Noble Otter and Murphy and McNeil are based in Texas. Thus, I thought there might be a connection.
