Thread: "Williams" mug shaving soap & Boar's Hair Shave Brush.

I've been using the Williams soap daily for a couple of years and enjoy it. I get it at Walmart. I was using Proraso because I had heard so many things about it but got tired of the fragrance and the tingling was more than I was looking for on a daily basis.

I don't have a problem raising a lather with it at all either. I soak my badger hair brush in a cup of hot water for about two or three minutes. I shake the water off it three or four times and quickly develop a nice full lather from the Williams. I think it works great for me.

The boar bristle brush is OK to start with but you will appreciate a badger hair brush and it's ability to absorb water once you start using one.
