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

I finished my puck today. I think it was a mistake to grate it down when I started, as towards the end the little that was left becomes so crumbly that I was getting a lot of chunks in the lather.
Other than that it was a great experience and I'm bummed I don't have more, Williams really agreed with my skin.

I might try to search more out, though I think it's harder to find here. How do I tell the vintage stuff from new looking at the package?
 
Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 56

​
Two calendar months in and there's still a good amount left on this puck.
 
I ordered a couple of scented pre-shave soaps from Phoenix Shaving to use for the remainder of this journey. The soap itself absolutely doesn't need help in making a phenomenal lather, but I just need some scents to go along with it. The soap no longer has any scent itself (no menthol cooling either), and that aspect has gotten old.

If tallow or sodium tallowate is listed as the first ingredient, it is the vintage stuff.
 
Ended up getting 2 more shaves out of the pieces. Finished the puck this morning with 53 Shaves.

I think we need a picture of the actual puck........I'm starting to wonder if you're loading the brush off the side of the cardboard box.

This was roughly two weeks ago. I'll snap an updated pic later.
