I think this whole "Williams is being discontinued" panic thing was just a hoax. Every store I have been in lately is fully stocked with Williams. I think we can stand down for a while. At ease men.
So after reading these threads, I was shopping with the wife at our local WinCo and saw they carried Williams. I grabbed 5 pucks and threw them in the cart. She asked about the soap and I told her, "I wanted to give Williams a try because it just might be discontinued and then I would never be able to say that I had ever tried it..."
She says, "Suuuure, discontinued... 5 bars is a lot of soap to 'try'."
Says I, rolling my eyes at her, "Dear, it is a 'puck' of shaving soap and not a 'bar'."
Ya know, a can of sweet peas does have quite a good punch when thrown at ones head.

Seen a couple pucks laying in an I.D.A. drug store, I think it was?, and it was $2.45. This dollar thing can settle anytime soon!
Williams is still available around here ... the price has even gone DOWN recently, currently selling at $0.99 a puck.
I see no need to hoard it. I don't use it more than once or twice a year, usually on the 4th of July when we do our Patriotic Shave using only American-made products.
While I appreciate the nearly two centuries of tradition behind this soap, the modern formula is lacking in performance, IMHO. I'd love to get my hands on a vintage puck so that I can compare it, though.
Now, if they ever announce that ARKO stick will be phased out, then THAT will be a problem.

I thought we stood down a while ago?
In my opinion this is such a big IF that I would never worry about. I would probably put my stash of 10 "old" pucks at the bottom of the box and enjoy the new ones. I wouldn't bat an eye for the $20 "invested".
You have way too much time on your hands.

If you can't have fun with this hobby, then what's the point?
Have to have fun in the hobby, hence, hobby I guess! Grabbed a couple SOTD pics today and not only went ankle deep cracking through some ice, I lost half a coffee losing balance getting a weird angle in a bush. Ahhhh, good times!
True.
Yet, you have to do your favorite one. Test how many quarters the "lather man" can hold. That was fun watching.
