1. Thanks for the prompt response. I just sent Combe an email just when your new post came in.

    I am going to the drug store this evening...so will pick up a couple of pucks and store them away for future use. After using Williams for 25+ years seems a shame to not stock up...just in case I run out...

  2. No problem=) who is combe?

    How long does a puck last for you? And maybe you Should check out ebay for a 10 pack or something. How much do you pay for a puck in the drug store
  3. They are the Aqua Velva people who make Williams, Brylcreem, Lectric Shave...

  6. Just as every other shave market area bloom, they cease to make it. Seems the other way around to me. I guess they're not selling enough.

  7. When I was using Williams every day, a puck would last a long time...months. Now that it is in a rotation with 15 other soaps a single puck could last for years.

  8. This is such a mercy! I hear they were forced to discontinue because the International Soap Commission was going to reclassify William's as an industrial product, not for human use...

  9. Williams goes for about $1.50 CDN...it is the most inexpensive soap I have used.
  10. Life is too short to have to work at getting a good lather, especially when there are so many easy lathering, great smelling soaps out there.
    There's a reason.
  11. Yes, probably. More competition in the shaving marketplace.
  12. It's the end of the world as we know it...

  19. I've only used vintage Williams. I think it came from the 70's. It was a really good shave.
