The 4th "Annual" Williams Mug Soap 3017 Challenge!

Still smells great, like Williams Currier & Ives and I would definitely use it.

You might want to try the Spider Williams method. Just rub the puck on your face and then face lather. I'm going to switch back to that method this weekend. It works surprisingly well.

I've tried arko, mystic waters, and i think it was a Stirling shave sticks. Never could get it right that way.
Probably operator error, but it never worked out well.

I can concur with the first 3.....never used a horse hair brush.

Have 5 more in. Been using the synthetic that kj sent me. It is quite deceiving when loading the soap. I'm used to mainly badgers that hold all the lather near the tips, this one it creeps up and hides further in making you think there isn't that much in there.
Until you start to build .. then there is enough for 8 people.
I'm getting it dialed in a bit. At least with this soap. It is definitely different than the other two I have tried. Much better.
I don't think synthetic brushes are ever going to replace badgers for me, but I definitely won't not buy one now.

That one it a bit floppier than the one's I use, primarily. But they have the same type of bristles.

I had a phenomenal shave this morning with the Williams! I know I had said beginning Saturday I'd start incorporating other soaps/creams back into my routine, but after today's shave, I'm seriously reconsidering that statement.

Last day of February but the 3017 continues..... Anyone close to finishing their puck yet? I'd say I have another 3-4 weeks until mine is gone.
