I mean the Williams soap is only $1.00! I just need to find a store near
me that sells it. But to me, it sounds like it's kinda gunna suck...but,
like someone told me, it's cheap and I can learn how to lather with it!


So I'm guess I'm asking, is it worth buying a nicer soap first, not really
nice, like somewhere round $10.00, or should I heed this advice about
the Williams?



thanks in advance for any feedback
Hi - I'm still pretty new to this, but if the "Williams" you're referring to is William Marvy soap, then I know that hands down. I've been using Williams Marvy and have just about used a puck up (also my first soap and until tonight, then only thing I've used) - I've had a very difficult time getting a good lather out of it (and what you get seems to break down quickly). I started adding a few drops of glycerin lately, and that seems to help, but although I've got to the point where it's passable - it's nothing close to the creamy, thick lather some of these guys post pictures of.

I'd try something a bit better if you can.
