What does the edge of your puck look like? After 12 shaves mine still had the tiniest bit of ridge left on the edge that I've been using. And still having excellent results, too!!
Lathering Modern Williams - one method with great results

Well just a tiny bit oval and I can still see the edge of the puck, to my guess a puck will last me 100 or more shave compare when I was bowl lathering it. When I bowl lather Williams it would gave me around 50 to 60 shaves.
What do you guys put your pucks in? I have "collector's" coffee mug I bought in the souvenir shop. I'll post a picture of when I get back to my CHU.
Mine is currently in a Tupperware type container.

My puck looks very close to yours. My flat spot is on the handle side!! Love the Williams box design; the ones around here have a plainer look.
I'm with Gino...the box it came in.
+1. I wipe the puck on a towel and lot it dry while I shave. Then back into its box!!
That is sweet and plentiful looking lather!!

[/QUOTE]Thanks! The unfortunate part is that (even though it was kinda fun) it took me a lot of attempts before dialing it in. I didn’t figure it out in my own either. It was someone elses method that I ended up getting help from. That said, I’m glad it worked out because I do like this soap. And now there’s no issue at all
Ironically, I had a very sudsy, airy, aweful lather this morning. A few norms were not kept to, so I think I’m the cause.
Rinsed it out, started over, and it was back to being excellent. Finicky soap? Yes. I think it’s sweet spot is far narrower than very good soaps. That said, it does make an extremely slick, creamy lather if youmget it right. It’s hard to ignore that at $1 per puck.

+1. I agree that when you get it right, it's an impressive and slick soap for $1. I've been having consistent excellent lather using this shave-stick-method and face-lathering, but I was a total failure at bowl-lathering Williams.
For me i did got impressive results whit bowl lathering, it´s just that i founded to be less difficults using it like a shave stick and face lather VS bowl lathering.
Now that I feel somewhat comfortable with this soap, perhaps I will try it your way
Yep, smell weakens to a nice clean smell after a shave or two. Still good lather.

+1. Now that I have a consistent method of lathering Williams, I get very good shaves each time, too. Today, I did the shave a bit different. No prep, no hot towel, just wet face, run Williams like a shave stick, lather and shave. The results were just as good as the other shaves. Love this stuff, although I wish it came in a variety of scents!!
I gotta try this rub-puck-on-face method
You can shred it, and then mix it with your favorite aftershave, then leave it out for several days ( because you have to get rid of the alcohol ) while stirring/mixing it a couple times a day until it gets hard , and then press it down to the bottom of your container , and then you have a puck of Williams that has been scented.
