Thanked: 13234There is a certain Nostalgia for using Williams stacked in an old coffee cup, whipping up a lather using a Boar Brush

Thanked: 37Well, I had a chance to use Williams with a few drops of glycerin, thanks to a tip from Sharptonn. Tom's tip made a notable difference in the cushion of the shave. I did like the kind of lemony scent and had an excellent shave.

The trick to Williams, is to keep it well hydrated, and on the soft side. Leaning towards a croap yields best results.
If your a slow shaver, then a small dollop of creamo, or your favorite soap or cream, will add to the life of the lather. But yep. It does love water.Mike

Well people who knows me already knew that Williams(modern and vintage)is my go to soap. For the modern version is it the best soap in the world! No but to me it works the very best, I have NO TROUBLE to lather it as a matter of fact to me it works almost like any other soaps that i’ve Got. I bowl lather and face lather it whit no trouble, I also used the puck like a shave stick and it works the very best. Here’s pics of what I get for results whit bowl and face lather 1 Like I said it’s not my #1 but it’s my go to soap and I also enjoy it whit a straight. Gino

Might have been my water or my technique, but "good lather" and "Williams" never made it into the same sentence. I long ago threw it out. Life's too short!

The trick to using Williams is to get a puck made before WWll.

Thanked: 0I learned to shave with William's snd used from teens to late twenties when I discovered this site. Now that I've tried others I won't use Williams again. But if the same thing worked for everyone and everyone liked the same then we wouldn't have such a large choice.
