Arko stick for face lathering is as good or better, costs less (on sale at Amazon) and is less bother. Bought a box of sticks for $1.20/ea - lifetime supply probably, quick, easy, slick. Plus you get the funny smell and the smiling little not-very-turkish guy on each label. With Williams you get a puck in a box with, IIRC, a bit of puck artwork.
