Williams was my first soap when I got away from canned foam. I always got a good shave but it tends to dry my skin out more than others soaps.
I really enjoyed the modern Williams the first few times I tried it and even bragged it up a bit. I tried it again yesterday and although I didn't have a problem getting it to lather, in under a minute the lather on my face looked thin and kind of disappeared. I am going to try to bowl lather with it and add a drop of glycerin and a spash of Aqua Velva and see what that does...yet, what is the point of having to 'doctor up' a product to make it acceptable? I might also break down and go pay the 12 dollars I saw at an antique store for a vintage puck of Williams so I can compare it to the new.
