I've read it many times and read it disputed just as many - that the vintage Williams is better than the new Williams.

In my travels I have managed to obtain a puck of Williams manufactured prior to July 1967 (when the packaging laws went into place) and another old puck, but newer than the packaging laws.

Additionally I have a puck that has been aging for about two years, a one year old puck, and a brand new puck.


In a few minutes I am going to be furiously making lather, taking pictures, and taking notes.

The great Williams Shootout is about to begin!


Now... For those that like to gamble: Where are you placing your bets?

Is the old stuff better?
Is it just better if it's aged?
Is it all the same?


I'll hold the results for 24 hours: check back to this thread tomorrow night.
