    I had a nice this morning with Williams. Good lather, good slickness, and good results overall.

    The last time I used the Williams it actually performed very well thanks to my Plissoft synthetic. It gave me good lather which stayed stable throughout the shave.

    Williams Wednesday. Outstanding shave with modern Williams and a new Semogue 1305. The ER 1912 was smooth as could be.

    Williams Wednesday's Shave
    [​IMG]

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Williams
    JR #257 Synthetic
    Microbatic Bullet Tip
    Personna Gem CS
    Personna Pal CS
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Florida Water

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Ingram Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the JR #257 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Micromatic Bullet Tip Razor using a Personna Gem and Pal CS SE blades and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Yeah, Williams is a thirsty soap and it takes a good amount of water to get a decent lather going with it. That said, it is possible to do it using the following technique:

    Damp:

    Soak your brush in water, squeeze off some of the excess on top of the puck, and squeeze the remainder into your sink or bowl until the brush bristles are damp. Proceed to work the brush into the moistened puck until you have a thick, pasty consistency, then apply to face. Add some drops of water to the brush and repaint on top of the first layer, then repeat the process once or twice more. A softer soap puck might yield better results more quickly, but I find what works for me is to build up my lather this way instead of trying to work the brush into the puck until a decent lather is achieved.

    I missed replying to this Jeff. Williams does love the newer synthetics. I have a couple of videos with that.
