I've been wetshaving for several months now, and things have been going great. I'm using a Merkur HD, Derby Extra blades, Vulfix badger brush...and Williams.
I watched the Mantic vids and lurked around this place for a while...and then I went in and almost immediately got gobs of lather from Williams. I mean, easily 5 or 6 passes worth.
I've also tried VDH and Proraso, and didn't have nearly the good results that I did with my Williams. They lather, and they're okay...but they're no Williams. I don't get it. With Williams I don't even need aftershave or anything...just rinse with cold water.
So what gives? Am I stuck in some sort of weird twilight zone episode or something? Or....maybe my face just likes "shower soap"...before this I had been shaving with Zest and a Bic Sensitive for years.
Cheers,
David
