I've always wanted to give Vintage Williams a try and thank you Pennsylvania for providing the opportunity. Two days ago Ina small antique store I found three razors, (2 Superspeed flair tips and 1ball end tech) all NOS. feeling pretty good about finding these razors, which will be gifted to friends, I was wandering toward the register and my eye caught an old soap bowl still in a cellophane wrapper. I had no idea what it was but for two bucks I'd risk it just for the bowl. When I opened it up in the rental I was pleased to see Currier and Ives Soap Bowl by Williams. Well, the bowl is not worth the effort as it is dried, cracked, and warped but the soap? Oh, my the soap! Easy to load. Easy to lather. Reminds me of Mickey Lee soap in regards to lathering. It's old. Scent is all but gone and this is not the Williams lemon scent nor a rose scent but a woody scent that may well be a transfer from the bowl it sits in. At any rate the cream is glorious. Slick. Loads of cushion. Easy to get shiney. Williams, what did you do? Modern Williams is not anywhere near this class of suds. Post shave feel is on par with most soaps I use. I'll be using this one to the bottom and keep my eye peeled for another.
