    Not at all. I actually do that with my vintage Old Spice. Add a little old spice to the top of the cake then lather. Works great! Glad to see you enjoying the Williams. I feel better that it was the scent you were looking for!

    I drizzle AV Ice Blue over my unmolested Williams and I get nice thick lather when I whip it up with my SOC Boar Brush. It's veddy veddy nice. I'm gonna have to do this week.

    Williams is like quality liquor, best used "neat", no need for additives!

    Williams is on deck again today! Bloomed, of course.

    Just used Williams for a quite nice shave. No mosquito bites either.
    Gem featherweight, CVS blade, Thayers witch hazel with a couple drops of Stirling Spice. Stirling balm to finish.

    Sorry, no pics, got to go to work.

    I have one puck of Williams I found at an antique store. I looked up the bar code and packaging and determined it was made in the 80s. I've had it in my display cabinet for a few years and occasionally wonder if I should pull it out and use it. Then again, I think that maybe the legend is better than reality.

    It's Williams Wednesday, and the Williams has come out again. I will use it through Sunday, too.
    Good Stuff.

    Williams Wednesday found a 30MM Virginia Seng horse brush nearly covering my Williams mug! The old horse really liked the puck and a good time was had by all. Of course a splash of AV. It was shave 7 on a Gem SS blade held by a
    Gem Brooklyn. Both head and face was thrilled by the treat.

    What's the FIRST ingredient?

    Sodium Tallowate. Does that mean anything special?

    Actually, sodium tallowate is the first ingredient in the 2nd formulation of Williams. If there is NO ingredient list OR if TALLOW is the first ingredient, then you have the original formulation.

    How many formulations are there?

    The Williams I just purchased has sodium tallowate second.

    I "believe" there were 3.
    Original: Tallow (1st ingredient, OR NO ingredient list)
    2nd: Sodium Tallowate (1st ingredient)
    3rd and final: Potassium Palmate (1st ingredient)
    I am NO expert, so if I have missed something, I would appreciate being corrected, as I am an avid Tallow Williams fan.

    You should use it. Great soap....of course I think the current formulation is great too. It is probably from the Glastonberry plant. Hope I spelled right.
