A week straight using the Tonsorial Williams and actually enjoying it but I can't help but have a trapped feeling until it's done and I have the freedom of choices again which is why I tend to use it more than the 1508.5 calls for..............................I feel I may never get off this island....................

I'm a bit unclear on the term, "Tonsorial Williams." Is that another name for the old formulation, or the new, or is there a third variety of Williams I'm just not familiar with?

They're both obviously vintage. The Tonsorial may have been made for Barber use, I'm not sure. KJ @Spider is my authority on Williams. Some have done comparisons of them and feel they are the same but packaged differently for barbers perhaps. I just label what I'm using and have some of both. (y)

I keep trying to social distance on my island, but someone keeps visiting every other day or so, making my 2-week waiting period start anew each time. :rolleyes:
He ain't no supermodel, but hey, beggars can't be choosers and when he visits, he is still the purdiest thang on the island. 🤪
