Williams is a much under-rated soap. I’ve never used the Menthol version though. Still being made?

Unfortunately no. The menthol version was only produced for a short period of time during the 70's. A few years ago the regular Williams soap was discontinued as well. They can still be found (eBay, Etsy, etc.) but people are asking ridiculous amounts for them. Like $40 ~ $50 per puck!
