The 5th Annual Williams Mug Soap 3017 Challenge!

The Williams Bicentennial Mug was something you mailed in to receive from specially marked boxes of Williams from 1976-1977. It's made of Armetale. It's similar to Pewter, but has no lead, so it's food safe.

23 I’m starting to get very motivated to end this puck. The captains choice bowl is a pretty good tool to facilitate just that. While still capable of giving a decent shave, at 27 the Gillette platinum is noticeably diminished. Only by short strokes can I avoid tugging. Feels like another blade I recall from a long time ago, but that blade started out this way. I still think I can get a couple more shaves though.

This is one (well two) of my favorite Williams pieces. Canadian made Williams milk glass mugs. Pretty rare in the US. The first one I received in a trade from someone in Canada that had 3 of them. The second one (in original box) I, remarkably, found at an estate sale in rural Missouri (about 20 minutes from my house). What the heck are the odds of me finding that? There was no other shaving stuff at the sale either.
