You know...I was a pretty big fan...and I still use it from time to time...but I don't use it as much as I thought I would. I have given several bottles away and will likely give a few more away. I'm half tempted to email the company again (I did this a couple of years ago) and ask if the still have it in the warehouses to purchase.
Really quick entry tonight folks.

This razor and Personna Platinum combo has given me an extremely mild BBS two shaves consecutive now. With results like that I may need to buy some more of these ones.

Personna Platinum blades are definitely a good solid blade. I haven't used one in a while...so maybe I'll bust one out. Also, I really like the shape of your brush!
Having a fantastic weekend! Hope you all are doing the same. A preview for tonight’s shave is that I am seriously channeling my inner KJ for it. It’s all new software and splash to me.

Wow I never believed that this stuff would be as good as it is for as inexpensive as it is. This blade also continues to impress me with its mildness and smoothness. Three shaves consecutively BBS and I didn’t really have to work for it.
SOTD: Very much a KJ shave
First time ever lathering Williams. Was a bit airy at first but began to tighten as the passes increased. By pass three it was very useable.
Thanks for reading folks. Prayers and God’s blessings to each of you. Have a wonderful Monday.

Slickness is better than I would say 90 - 95 % of all soaps I’ve ever tried.
Cushion on could have been better but wasn’t what I would call bad by any stretch.
Post shave was about average but the splash helped that out a lot.
All in all all of you wanted to shave really cheap and never worry about picking a fancy scent. You could get stellar shaves and save money using nothing but this Williams soap and Aqua Velva splash.
i couldn’t help it it was just calling my name every time I went in the den like “TJ can you lather me?”
So many comments. So few appropriate.
Well...congrats on getting a good lather from Williams, TJ! I've got one puck that I just can't make myself go to, but I know it will get pulled out eventually. Still looking for a couple of vintage pucks, as I've heard those are absolutely top notch stuff. (same with vintage Old Spice, but those pucks are getting HIGH)

Nice shave TJ............I'm getting tempted to give mine a whirl......................sorta
Nice job with the Williams, TJ.
Several months ago I acquired a puck of vintage Old Spice. I was unsuccessful at getting a decent lather from it. I tried with every brush type, soaking, etc., etc. etc.........dud. And the Old Spice scent was completely absent. Total bummer all the way around.

I soaked that puppy in water for like 12 hours before trying to lather it. It seemed to help a ton.
I'm surprised that you didn't get a good lather from the OS. It lathers for me if I just drop my brush onto the exposed puck, BOOM! LOL. But really, I get a super easy, super creamy lather form it. Never heard of anyone having issues with it before. The scent aspect doesn't surprise me though. The scent it gone from most vintage pucks.
