Thread: Willams Mug Soap

We don't mind a thread about Williams soap. All topics, within reason are welcome.
I have an old case, well, 12 pack of Vintage Williams soap, and keep a puck in a mug for old times sake. I actually prefer it over some of the Artisan offeings.

I'll have to pull this one out again, just cause I dig the picture and the commentary seems appropriate. FWIW, I dig Williams



No that's not me as a baby but it wasn't too many years older than this youngin when a pipe full of burley first stuck in my gob

hahah...well thanks guys...thats a bit more like it ....and btw I have tried many other soaps including mwf.....I just love williams!

On behalf of SRP and all that e stand for let me appologise to you for your earler treatment from some of the boys, We do not act like this to new members i promiss. As you may know it was just scarcasm. Noone on here is serious when they give people a hard time. I have used willams and vanderhagen (mainly becaue im 15 , have lil facial hair and i dont like spending much on soap) But i have nothign bad to say about willams soap if you dotn mind whiping it up for a bit longer its nice. Again im truly sorry that you and ur question were not treated so well.

Deerhunter.

Now now guys, lets not get over sensitive and start apologizing needlessly over and over again over some perceived slight; no one was being mean to anyone, and since this is the internet and all I suppose jokes and sarcasm don't really translate well into writing. C'mon, I did say "no offence", didn't I???

That being said, at the risk of this turning into yet another Williams love fest I'll continue my quest to turn people on to the good stuff; Williams is the best soap you can buy... for $1.60, which really says a lot. There are so many infinitely better soaps and creams out there to stick with Williams for long, and once you try them the cheap stuff will be but a distant memory. Just trying to broaden some horizons here...

Your points are all very well taken. As has been very well documented on this very site, I'm a huge fan of both Williams and VDH and have had great luck with both. Even though both are consistent performers, I must admit that neither is the best soap ever. I've used lots of better soaps but conversely I've used more expensive stuff that wasn't as good. Like anything else in the shaving world YMMV. But for affordable stuff I can have in my hand in an hour or less, I'll go with Williams or VDH every time.

A great inexpensive shave soap is called Bairlea farms. A friend recently sent me a puck, and this stuff is awesome. It quickly provided gobs and gobs of rich creamy lather with little or no effort, and stayed put while I stropped. This is rare for an Artisan Soap offering, and this stuff performed a hell of a lot better than many of the other "hyped" stuff....Give it a try.

I may just one day buy some of that expensive stuff just to try, and i may buy come shavign cream one day just to try it.ive never used the canned cream or a disposible razor before, i learned using this site and my late grandfathers wetshaving stuff (straight, mug,brush,)

I currently own 28 pucks of Williams... When the zombie apocolypse happens, I know I can continue to get good shaves.

Sure, I own soaps that are much better in terms of lather, cushion, and glide. But... I can still get a good shave from my Williams.

Wow! Even in my days of using just Williams, my soap pucks lasted between 5 and 7 years. Your stash would last me over 150 years. If my stem cell/immortality plans work out, I'll buy some of those pucks from you!
