Does anyone know if Williams Mug Soap is still being produced in the USA? I can get it on Amazon--at a steep price, but can't find it on any of the shaving products web site(s). I may be mistaken, but I thought I read that it is no longer being produced.

You couldn't give it away a few years ago.
It got discontinued and now it's sought after.
That's the norm for stuff though.

Luckily I still have 5 pucks which I bought right before the announcement. It is a good soap for sure. Not as good as the older version but still pretty good.

Thanks to all who replied. I had guessed it was no longer available, but wasn't sure. Perhaps, someday, I will stop by a small town drugstore or grocery store, off the beaten path and stumble across some.
I've got an old puck still in the box that I'll send you. The scent is mostly gone but if you'd like to try it, shoot me a PM with your address. I stumbled on a few pucks 15 years ago or so at a grocery store on vacation and grabbed them.
I only use mine on special occasions.

@CANES was kind enough to send me an unopened puck. I was too late in the game to experience it when it was available.I only used it during my years as a poor college student. $0.99 per puck.
I went to a antique shop one day in North Carolina and found 2 pucks of vintage Williams and 2 pucks of Colgate for $ 8.00 . And plenty of fishing gear. Worth sticking your head in and checking these places out.

Thanks for the offer, but I will stick with my Noble Otter for now.
I have a few pucks squirreled away, but not much desire to use them
They pulled them off the shelves in Canada before I could stock up.
That's the old B&B Spirit! Before I saw your post I was about to start digging around to find a spare puck.
Very nice of you, too bad he's not jumping at the chance.
With as widely available it was... You will. I have come across it a few times while hunting at antique stores
Williams was the most hated soap by far here years ago. Many would not admit to using it. I've used it my entire shaving life, and still do from time to time.
Guess we will search eBay for it.

A long late uncle used it with his straight razor, brush, shaving mug, and coal stove heated water from their farm's well.
I still have a few pucks left that I purchased many years ago and I enjoy using it on occasion. I believe it was the second shaving soap I had used when I got back into traditional wet shaving and it brings back good memories.
