I always liked the lather from Williams much better than the VDH lather. Of course after a few pucks of Williams (it was my go to for 15 years, then I discovered TGQ )
I thought VDH was way too runny I never did get VDH to lather right, then after one puck it was back to Williams.

Once you try one of the truly premium soaps you will not really want to use Williams or VDH again.
