Thanked: 6If Williams worked as well as Valobra or Institut Karite that's probably all I'd ever use cause I love the Williams scent. But it takes too much work to get a decent straight razor shave with it..I use it when I can move a little faster with a DE.
It's a shame they changed that formula so much that it's on the brink of extinction--I hate to see a historical product disappear, but it really needs a quality upgrade.

Do me a favor, guys. Grate up a puck, toss in an a ounce of glycerin, stir it up good and press it into a bowl. If you want, mix it with another soap you cannot get to work. 1 puck Willie, half of the other.
Light microwave 15 secs only press, repeat again, perhaps once more. Easy to do!
Give that a go. Face lather with little water. I think all of it is old and needs some help. Great stuff. Just me!"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Tomorrow the Williams will get another try. This time I won't drown it...maybe just a soak while showering.
I'm thinking about grating the puck and adding glycerin in the coming weeks.

Thanked: 3225Just grated a couple of pucks, dosed them with glycerin, mixed and packed then nuked a few times and packed some more. By this time I was wondering if it would be worth the effort. Just did two palm lathers using a synthetic and a boar brush. Seems like it is a different soap now, loads and builds a good lather very easily. Looks like it beats trashing two pucks for sure. Thanks for the tip.
