Thread: Williams Shaving Soap History

Yep! I am into the "Uberwillie" for the long run!

Well, there should be no problem getting Williams to produce a good looking lather but even still it lacks something.

Thank you for your detective work and comprehensive research. Good show, my friend. I appreciate your effort in digging up all sorts of golden nuggets from the traditional shaving world.

Williams shaving soap many uses.

Very interesting Martin, thanks for another informative thread. I tried Williams years ago and don't really remember how I felt about it one way or the other. Looking at the photo of Mr. James Baker Williams in the original post, I have to wonder how he ever developed a shaving cream ?

Judging by that full beard I'd say he certainly didn't try it himself !
