I have to begin by saying that I have been a faithful Williams user for over 40 years and while many have bemoaned the difficulty building a lather with this soap I never seemed to have that problem. An initial blooming, naturally soft water, a bit of brush work, and daily use will solve the lather problem. It is, or should be, a staple in any shave den. It is part of wet shaving history, worthy of being in the shaving Hall of Fame.
It is inexpensive, has a pleasant clean soap scent with lemony undertones, it lasts forever on the shelf, you can buy it in almost any grocery or drug store and its a good soap to have on stockpile. I used it back in the days of the tallow formula and the modern Williams, while not quite the same, is still a fine soap.
This is a question for the newer members to B&B and to wet-shaving. Have you tried Williams? Maybe some of the experienced Williams aficionados might like to chime in on the benefits of this soap.
