Thread: Williams Mug

Round 2.

Let water sit on puck while showering then loaded badger brush( soaked in scuttle and shaken out) for 45 seconds. Face lathering produced a bubbly lather that just wouldn't thicken l. First pass with DE razor wasn't very good. Sickness was there but not cushion. Like the first time I used this soap the lather just started to fade away.

Squeezed the brush out and dumped the lather. Loaded brush again and added a trickle of water to the tips. Lather started to thicken with face lathering but, never developed into a thick, creamy lather. Second pass shaving went a little smoother but still not there.

I think I will try grating the puck and adding glycerin for round 3.

To my personal experience i dont know what i make different but i get the lather i want whit Williams, the lather is thick enough, the slickness is there so has the cushion. I dont use any glycerin neither that i grated the puck, the only thing i use is water. Is it the way i built my lather?? Anyway the the results i get are really good, to me if the resuts where not there i will not used it. Gino

Round 3.

This week I grated the puck and mixed in 1oz. of glycerin, then pressed it down in my mug. Although the lather for today's shave was better than previous attempts with Williams, it was still filled with small bubbles and started to dissipate when I put the brush down. I decided to dump the Williams lather and washed my face. I re-lathered with Arko and had a pretty decent shave. I don't expect to shave with Williams again. If Williams is discontinued I will send Papabear my unopened puck.
