Definately Williams.

[JoshD]

Just had my second shave in as many days with a new puck of Williams. I think it is better than the $15 puck of AOS soap I have. I have been using the AOS for the past couple of months and have been getting som dfs with it. Now with this Williams I can get a one pass near bbs. My wife has even noticed the differance. She is surprised that a $1 soap can do this. It is very slick. The lather has a little to be desired but it makes up for it in the slickness department. And no, I don't try to make a perfect lather every time. I get some on my brush and put it on my face. I do a one pass wtg and a little touch up. And that is it! I even had a 2 shave old feather loaded in my Aristocrat.

I don't know what people mean by saying that Williams is hard to shave with.

If is works go for it..........some shave products sell for way to much.

If it works for you great. I don't really care for williams. Can't get decent lather and dries to quick for a str8 shave. But then again maybe i'm spoiled with all my creams.

I was just thinking there weren't enough threads about Williams.

Thankfully it'll cost you less than an espresso.

I think some believe we need huge amounts of lather because they learned with canned goo. Use enough water early and Williams is great!
Trouble with living in AZ is it is pretty expensive here, I have to pay $1.57!

I believe my affinity for Williams is fairly well established. In fact, I just scored two more new production pucks, six bits each.

However, since we are talking pucks not the vintage cream (that I've yet to sample, darnit) or the new French cream, does not this worthy thread belong in the soap forum?

Hmmm... I haven't used Williams in years. Methinks I will have to pick up a puck in the near future.

Everyone should try Williams.
If you don't like it, use it in the shower.
Mine's in the shower.

Williams haters in 5...4... 3... 2...

It's also a great camping soap, you can shave with it, then wash up with it. The scent after a wash up helps keep the skeeters away!



Editorial note: Luvmysuper is not a Williams hater. Luvmysuper always has a puck of Williams in rotation and thinks it is a great product, and shouldn't be blamed for peoples lack of skill in the lathering department.
Having said that, Luvmysuper will poke fun at stuff he likes as well as stuff he doesn't.
Also, Luvmysuper has an annoying habit of talking about himself in the second person.

Isn't that the purpose of the lilac veg?

I wouldn't wear the Veg on a camping trip, I might get buried by a mountain lion passing by.
