Thread: Willams Mug Soap

I just tried Williams this weekend for the first time. Pleasantly surprised. As others have noted, it's not the best of the best but I still got a very serviceable scuttle full of lather. Pretty nice in all.

Nothing wrong with Williams, it could just be better, but for the money its good!

Gentlemen:

The Williams is a fabulous soap — for the money.

Let's face it, what can you get these days under two bucks? It does the job, yes, and some think a great job, while others blow out a sour breath and shrug.

I used one puck of it a long long time and then moved on without looking back. Between Williams soap and where I am now rests an impressive lineup of great soaps. I hope to find more.

If you like Williams and want to stay with it, I heartily encourage you to do so. If you feel it does the best job for you, who am I to dispute your decision?

For me, I am looking forward to adding Tabula Rasa to my already loaded stash of soaps and creams.

That's why I consider this whole wet shaving thing The Sweet Obsession.

Regards,

Obie

My post was not meant to discomfort you. It was directed to those of us who have been around long enough to see the whole Williams antiWilliams threads take on a life of theirnown and go careening off into strange places. Nothing seems to energize our brothers more then this innocuous, quotidian little puck of tallow.

For what it is worth, I do pull out my Williams on occasion, and Inuse it as a touchstone to see how my lathering skills are developing, or not. I have on occasion gotten a great lather from it, though for the life of me I cannot reliably reproduce that result.

My ramblings were meant to amuse, not put down. Sometimes my sense of humor can be hurtful, but it was unintentional. I am glad you enjoy the Williams, and I believe you will find others that please you more.

I find VDH makes better lather and Williams gives a better shave so today I mixed the two. It was great. I have not used the nicer soaps yet but want to soon.

I definitely can relate to this. Officially, diagnostically, I am autistic. I think that is complete BS, yet I very often severely offend when I have no intention of doing so. In my case, I consider a more accurate diagnosis for me is that I am an *sshole, and many have confirmed this.

Its OK Ron, we still love you! Despite you.


BTW It was great talking to you on the phone today!

While I'm not the biggest fan of Williams, I did pick up a puck of it at the local Chemist, Drug Store .... whatever, any way, it was only 99cents and for that I could do little wrong. I do mix it with some shaving cream I had in the back of the cabinet, Palmolive green. and between the 2 of them, not a bad shave, and with the scent of lime not less!!!! But some other soaps have my heart though, SRD's house brand in Bay Rum for one.
Proraso's Soap or Cream to mention a few.

Thanks for the soap box, i'll hop off now.

tinkersd of SRP!
