Well... Today I grated up the crusty Williams and mixed it with some bay rum aftershave and pressed it into a bowl. Love the lather it makes, just got sick of the damn "cardboard" smell 
To answer my own question, to me vintage can include soaps with older formulations, so I'm including those. I love vintage soaps, especially Yardley, so here are some soap porn pics for all.
Yardley and 2 Wrisleys. Yes one yardley is still in shrink wrap.
Next I have my not so vintage but no longer in production soaps. 4 safaris, 1 manantiales, a kilo each of P160 morbido and duro.
some old misc pucks. with exception of HIS (which I know little about) all pucks are unused.
And some old-formulations of soaps still made.
Yes I am a hoarder, yes I could only have these soaps and be happy for the rest of my life, but I enjoy collecting. I blame B&B for creating this monster.

I'd say both probably apply. They still make Williams but i think anything made before the current Combe formulation (2004) is considered vintage since it's no longer made.
Jose,
The FDA has found that the Pen's vintage soaps contain banned ingredients and are requiring that all owners dispose of it at authorized government facilities. As the owner of the first shave den authorized to safely dispose of vintage penhaligon's soaps, I'll be expecting a package from you shortly.
The State thanks you for your cooperation.

p.s. go ahead and throw in a few of those surplus yardley's would you?

Here is my contribution from another post:

<---Thumbnails are clickable.Missouri to VA! I think there needs to be an authorized disposal center in and around KCMO. I need more of the Pens. I'm using the new formulation stuff up as I want to enjoy the old stuff later on in life.
Wow!!
Impressive gentlemen, I will try to contribute to the post with my humble collection

Fancy Schmancy!!
I don't think Jose is dumb enough to fall for that one Oake. You will just have to purchase your own Penhaglion's.

Could you give us a close-up shot of the ingredient list on the GFT Coconut Oil Shave Soap box?

Here you go. Does not list tallow in the ingredient list but the following threads explain it a little better.

Easily said, not so easily done. Would buy in an instant if I could find someone selling( after my period of gentlemanly restraint ends in December). Since my efforts at buying have been a failure, I thought I might try my hand at the short con. Turns out I am a lousy grifter.
Here's the 10 pucks of vintage Williams I recently picked up on Craigslist from a guy that lives about an hour away from me. $40 for all 10, which I was very happy with.
I just got my first vintage soap, an Old Spice mug with new, old puck. I probably overpaid ($24), especially since I'm not collecting, but I'm excited to give it a whirl this weekend.
Too good of a thread not to sticky it for a while. Outstanding posts folks!
i was looking for this thread. didn't realize it was sticky'd.
