I wonder what the connection was between the brands.

I would assume it’s just advertising,
Couldn’t have been many soaps back then

All the same, 1/- buys you a razor, a blade and a tube of Palmolive. Perhaps, as you say, there weren't many shaving soaps and most guys shaved with hand soap. This would be a way of getting them to try Palmolive, and it's always been a good soap.

Just an advertising deal, like Gillette had with Ivory soap.

Spelling mistake, it's what you think it is, quick Google confirmed.
