Very cool bottle. I can't believe you actually have a shop like that nearby that not only carries Williams but has a vintage section!

I will start on 3017ing my Williams doughnut tomorrow. It has been staring me in the face for the entire month of the FFFMM. I wonder how long it will last?
I have 117 shaves on my current puck of Williams. A hole just opened up in the bottom. There are likely another 100 shaves left in the puck. I've been leaning more towards lather porn on this puck, so it probably won't last 247 shaves like the last one.
Mine broke to pieces today and ended up in my scuttle in the lather. It is now gone. It was a very thin doughnut.
@GaryTha Hey Gary, just curious what’s your lathering method with Williams? Do you bloom, no bloom, face lather, bowl lather? Thanks.
No bloom. Face lather. Horsehair brush. Lots of water in the brush when I start to load. Shave every day.
Excellent. Nice and simple.
Williams Mug, Old Spice pottery mug, NY SR (Spike), Ever-Ready banded boar. Vintage Williams shave.
I just dropped a second puck of Williams into that deep Old Spice mug, bring up the soap level for easier loading.

Today, I completed one year of only using Williams Mug Soap.
Nice!
I am a WISE man. It will always be in my rotation and I have no issues with the Modern formula
I've also used Williams exclusively for the last year. Finishing off with some vintage.

Same. No blooming. Omega Boar Brush dripping with hot water. 10-20 second mug lather, followed by a 10ish second face lather.
That’s pretty much what I found works best for me. Load on the puck with a damp brush then apply to face and add water as needed while face lathering. You don’t really need that much soap or water I find.
Very cool. I’ve only used the “modern” formula. Dig the pix of the vintage puck and box.
My backup puck - should I grate it into a soap stick tube?
I use my MW puck like a shave stick; rub the edge of the puck on my wet face, then lather up; very consistent, nice lather. Then I dry the puck and put it back in the cardboard box. (I use a synthetic brush, and this method works well with synths)
bought a several of bottles of Williams Hand-sanitizer from my local shoprite, Made in the U.S.A , good stuff.
I just bought a Williams puck from a local drugstore. I enjoy the scent which reminds me of Ivory bar soap that I also like.

Went to my local shoprite and noticed that they had the Williams hand sanitizer and hand wipes.
