Interesting. I posted this way back in 2006:

Nope, nothing new.
Well, it may be a resurrection, but now it's got me thinking. I started out playing with WMS, but never got a lather I was really happy with. After trying out some other mid-grade soaps I never felt a need to go back. VDH is still my standard (about the same price and an easy lather IMHO), but I do like the WMS scent in the summer time; citronella gets me excited about spending time out doors (though I don't know that it works as a mosquito repellent). I'll have to pick up another puck and play around with it.
Peace,

I have used the Williams stick and it lathers just fine using cold water, like the scent too.

Current production Williams shave stick and refill bought in South Africa last fall. I thought I saw a North American vendor with some listed but damned if I can remember who.

I'd be interested to get a hold of some too.

Interesting, it is 2 years on from the linked post and they are still selling the Kiwi Brands stuff. OTH may be the take over company saw it was a slow mover and decided not to continue to produce it. It does have a mild scent, won't make your eyes water, that is hard to describe but not objectionable. The last time I used it I got a very close and comfortable shave so it works well for me at least. Maybe a South African member can be persuaded to round some up for sampling?
