One hint, though- Williams takes a little more effort to get the right lather. Let the puck soak a minute or so in warm water before hitting it with the brush. That seems to make all the difference in the world to me.

Enjoy!!!

Hehe that's funny. I didn't end up buying the Williams because I went to Colonial Drug to see what all the hubbub was about. They gave me several samples of Castle Forbes....which is a bad idea for me to try given that I don't think I can afford that unless I splurge but I will give it a try and it may give me a benchmark for other creams if I decide to go cream instead of soap.

I actually have a C&E Best Badger which I really like, it's a little scrubby but still very soft (to me). I tried clicking on the 'sampler' on their site and it goes to an error....I wonder if they're not offering the sampler pack to purchase anymore?

Yeah it seems like this is the common recommendation (plus I get to gain a new skill with that right hand!) so I guess I will give it a try.

Thanks all!
