I was cleaning out and rearranging one of my display cabinets, and thought I’d share some of what is on one of the shelves.


 
That my friend is Freaking awesome! I only have 4 pucks of modern stuff and a bottle of the modern AV. Plus a really cool metal cup.
 
Is it sad that my favorite is the sleeve of the Tonsorial soap. I have been keeping my eyes open for one of these. That would be 4 years of shaves right there.

The rest of the items are pretty cool as well. Thanks for sharing.
 
No wonder I can't find any vintage Williams to try.........

Awesome collection KJ!!
 
Hey, I haven’t bought any in years.... still tons out there.

I know, just teasing. I saw 2 pucks in the original boxes in pretty good shape a while back for $15. Was waiting on a pay though and it got grabbed before I could get it. Now that I'm back to work, I'll be looking again after a few things are caught back up.
 
Nice. I haven’t used either of mine. One was still sealed when I got it.

I was considering using one but I think I’ll wait until I achieve some great milestone in life. I can’t imagine finding a seal new one of these. I have a couple of off name that we’re still taped shut, pretty cool.
 
I am continually amazed by the collections I see here. Your's is no exception. How long did it take you to accumulate that much stuff?

Well, I’ve been traditional wet shaving for 8 years. But didn’t really start collecting Williams stuff until a few years in, and I haven’t bought anything really in the last couple years, so I’d say most of it was collected over 3-4 years. And that is just a portion of my total collection. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to show off the whole thing.
 
It will be something to see it all displayed. What is your favorite piece out of all the Williams stuff?

This is my favorite piece. It’s in near mint condition, completely full, and from the 1920s. The box itself is rare, let alone in this condition.
