    OK starting to get a little suspicious here but when exactly did Williams change their formula?

    First puck Feb 11 pink smelled like a cross between talc/baby powder

    Second Puck Jul 11 white smells like Citronella.

    The stuff I can buy in the food store has always smelled like citronella to me. I bought a vintage puck the other day and it smells more like soap. Perhaps that earlier puck you got was older or had been stored with the box open?

    How's the lather?

    The lather is still the same, meaning pretty good from my point of view. as the pinkish puck I had. The more research I do the more I think some CVS fool may of been doing switch the packaging on me here in Northern VA

    Every time somebody lathers a fresh puck of Williams, a new angel gets its wings!:angelic007

    All I can say is every puck of Williams soap that I bought gave me the worst lather I ever experienced. (Well, maybe I am to blame also) On the other hand, it worked great as a shower soap.

    I'd advise you to toss out that Krypton-tipped Ultra-Super-Deluxe Baby Badger brush, and get yourself a nice Boar with attitude. Or better yet, a cheap brush made with the pelt of this morning's latest highway roadkill scrapings. That will give you a brush with the proper "cojones" to stand up to the Williams, and show it who's boss!!:D

    LOL yeah I do not see anything thats not stiff as a rusty nail pulling lather off of the williams, of course the only other soap I have to compare it to is the Col Conk Amer, which my wee lil tweezerman destroys.

    Of course I was trying to originally make lather in a tiny bowl thing I got this[​IMG] Which makes an astounding amount of lather if you get it warm.

    I haven't got a Krypton-tipped Ultra-Super-Deluxe Baby Badger Brush like that--I use an Omega Wooden Handle, which has plenty of attitude! ;) :D

    Hmm... it does sound like somebody switched out a puck of Williams for VDH Deluxe.

    Does the CVS you purchased it at carry both brands?

    And that's the only way to approach Williams - with attitude. Show it who's boss, and it will love you forever!

    Yep they do Bill, frigging guy stocking most of either A spilled them out at the same time and didn't know better, or B was just plain bored

    If it was a VDH I had no problem getting that to lather, best shave ever this afternoon with the end of the puck. (BTW thats a head shave not a face shave)

    Ah, maybe this week I'll buy another Williams puck!

    Well with the skeeter be gone scent, you definitely have Williams this time, and I hope it serves you well. :)

    Yesterday I was walking through Honest Ed's - a huge discount emporium in downtown Toronto, and in the shaving section they had cases and cases of Williams stacked up. Clearly, somebody has seen the light and is buying it! $1.50 per box.

    I don't think it could've been a VDH puck, there's no way one would fit in a Williams box they're to fat.

    I agree about the Williams lather. So one day, I milled a puck of Williams into a melted puck of VDH. Wow, did I get a great lather from that mixture.

    Ditto. Plus VDH is packed in its own plastic tub inside the box....

    Yep, now that you mention it, it wouldn't fit in the box.

    :think002 Wonder what was in the box then, his description certainly doesn't sound like Williams.

    Maybe the OP meant puck instead of pink...?
