well ,just figured out the "vintage"williams i've been using is just under 20 years old,so not so vintage..a little dissapointing.but still lathers well.,still has sodium tallowate as the first ingredient..maybe the new tonsorial on the way will be even better.... http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=147700&highlight=identifying+vintage+williams
going to go back to my normal focus till the new williams tonsorial haul shows up..some decadent shaves are in order..
There is a quite a bit of 'gentle sarcasm' in a lot of Canadian humour. You just have to throw the barbs out with a smile and a subtle shrug of the shoulders...
That is a very good question, Andrew. This puck of Haslinger is the smallest I have ever seen that isn't purported to be a sample. I'd say sloped bottom, not flat. That would enable the puck to be manipulated a bit but not c0mpletely smushed out if you didn't want it to be. Wide enough that you can swirl a brush properly, but not as wide as many I've made. I'll put mine in one of my smaller bowls and see how it does.
Congrats Clint! I look forward to your impressions of the Santa Maria Novella and the Creama da barba.
I've always understood the ones with a bar code but tallowate were called modern vintage or semi vintage
