    Yes! A brush loaded with Proraso lowered upon a glycirine dribbled willie puck is the ultimate "uberwillie" !
    Welcome to the club, gooser! I do it all the time with the green and red Proraso!

    To be honest, Tarkus, I seem to have taken on the Williams "dealer" status. I supply an elite group who cannot be seen buying it! I get these messages: "got any stuff?"

    Thanks to the OP for the History. Williams was my one and only soap for some time. I remember my Grandfather and Father using it. I picked this up a while ago. Now I have a time frame for it. You can see it say's "Cranford N.J. I'm originally from N.J. Hmmmmm?

    Sorry, It's not for sale....

    Maybe he was one of the first 'down there' shavers.

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