Join me for a week of Williams!

[DougK]

All right, gentlemen. There's been a lot of words spilled on the forums about Williams Mug Soap lately and I decided that, by gum, it's time to appreciate the "Two-Buck Chuck" of the shaving soap world.

Any and all who wish to join me for a week of Williams beginning tomorrow morning (Eastern Time), please feel free to do so. Use whatever razor, blade, AS, etc. tickles your fancy, just grab a brush and lather up some Americana!

EDIT: Or not. I missed the week of Van der Spice somehow and since I don't wish to (ahem) take the wind out of their sails, let's postpone the week of Williams.

There was a week of Williams not too long ago...and seeing as how we have a week of Van Der Spice and a week of glycerin and a week of mad rantings from Topgumby (Oh, wait, that's every week) maybe the "week of" trolley is a little full this week...but if you want to wait a week, I'm all over this one like a cheap soap!

 

[DougK]

Yeah, you're right, I missed the whole Van der Spice thing somehow. We'll do it again another time.

The Van der Spice Navy is a friendly force and the Ship Grand Turk a seaworthy vessel. Climb Aboard! There is still plenty of time

The Williams Army doesn't have enough oomph to take on the Van Der Spice Navy. In that epic battle of the suds, the Grand Turk will win with a single blast of her effective cannons!!

That's an effective strategy Admiral. Lure our foes near with a false sense of security!

Aye, Cap'n John!
The cannon of the Grand Turk would send Williams to Davey Jones' Locker in one and one half turns ...but we don't like to brag.

Every week is a Williams Week!

 

[Topgumby]

Don't worry about those Van Der Spice pirates....

Williams can handle the comparison.

 

[DougK]

Oh that's good, Topgumby. I like the way you think.

 

[guitarslinger]

I'll politely decline.

Thanks.

Yeah! Since when did Van Der Spice start packing any tallow goodness? Never!

I used Williams all last week and will continue to do so until my latest haul from Krissy rolls in, which may be quite awhile yet.

 

[Loner16]

I'm always up for a Williams shave!

 

[michiganlover]

Aye, tallow alone does not a good soap make.

Postponed.



Indefinitely....

Williams disfigured me for like 3 days. Im scared to go back... I am not a monster!!

 

[sandmountainslim]

Van der Spice doesn't need tallow!
The lather is so fine and the scent so extraordinary that were it to also contain tallow the user would become so aroused that the shave would never be completed
Van der Spice spares the tallow in order to just keep the playing field level.

Now, I want you to remember that no shaver ever lathered Williams by crying in his shave mug. He lathered it by using lots of water and elbow grease and getting cheap, great lather that makes other shavers cry in their shave mugs.

Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to lather Williams, that Williams is hard to lather, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to lather Williams. All real Americans love the sting of non moisturizing soaps.

When you were kids, you all admired the Mantic videos, the fastest honer, the big league wet shavers, the toughest boar brushes. Americans love a traditional soap and will not tolerate a den full of imports. Americans play for a close shave all the time. Now, I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who got five o'clock shadow and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose that BBS feeling. Because the very thought of stubble is hateful to Americans.


Now, your shave den is a team. It lathers, preps, shaves, moisturizes as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious cartridge users who wrote that stuff about five individual blades for the those Tiger Woods commercials don't know anything more about real shaving than they do about lathering Williams.

Now, we have the finest blades and razors, the best brushes, and the best dens in the world. You know, by God, I actually pity those poor pucks of Williams we're going up against. By God, I do. We're not just going to lather those pucks. We're going to whip up their tallow guts and use them to shave the cheeks of our faces. We're going to lather those cheap pucks of Williams by the bushel!

Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you'll chicken-out lathering Williams. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. That Williams is your ally. Wade in to it with your brush. Spill lots of hot water on the puck. Use plenty of product. When you put your hand into a bunch of mush that a moment before was your best friend's face after he shaved with canned goo, you'll know what to do.

Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that Williams is hard to lather. We're not complaining about lathering. Let those soft cream users do that. We are swirling that brush on our puck constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything -- except our brushes. We're going to hold onto them by the handle, and we're gonna get a lather with Williams that lasts. We're gonna lather the hell out of it all the time, and we're gonna go through him like The Nid Hog goes through a bottle of Lilac Vegetal!

Now, there's one thing that you men will be able to say when you get through this week of Williams, and you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you, "What did you do in the great resurgence of traditional wet shaving?" -- you won't have to say, "Well, I pressed a button on a can of Foamy in Louisiana."

Alright now you sons-of-badgers, you know how I feel.


Oh, and I will be proud
to lead you wonderful shavers
into a week of Williams anytime,
anywhere.

That's all.

 

[Storer50]

I vote for a week of Williams next week.

 

[DunEdinRanger]

Let me know when it starts. The puck is waiting.
