I finally found me some of the old stuff. Can't wait to give it a swirl. Is Seaforth's any good? It still smells good.
Vintage soap anyone?

Congrats. That is a nice mug. Enjoy. I really enjoy my vintage soaps.
Yardley English lavender, bowl with an untouched puck of soap plus the aftershave with about 20% left. Not sure if I should use it, sell it, or just stare at it?
Staring at us fun too.

What he said!
I agree with Chris...I've got a very similar gift box (it also has talcum in it) with the shave soap still in the plastic wrap. When it's turn comes up in the 3017 schedule, I'm using it up.
Since I rotate aftershaves, I've already been using the AS splash.

That's a nice haul, I've never found 4 OS mugs at once. All in how much?
Next lazy Saturday I've got I'm going for a "Shave like my Dad" experiment.
In order of ease to acquire:
1966 Slim Adjustable
1950/60s Culmak mixed hair and bristle brush
1953 Unnamed shaving stick from an unused shaving kit
1967 Gillette Silver Stainless
Preparation with some non-vintage Palmolive soap and I may finish with some Witch Hazel, Old Spice or just cold water.
I'll post some pictures when I get it together.

Great finds on the Soaps.
Some nice vintage Williams.
I'm not sure why tap a talk is adding photos. NM fixed it.

Ive wanted to try this stuff for years...great shot! How does it shave?
How is the sea forth soap
I have a puck of Seaforth I use occasionally. I love it. Good lather, slick and protects well.
I love that mug!
Back when Williams worked? I wish they never switched. Between the old look of the box, and the great price, I so badly wanted it to work. I'd love to find some old formula.

Keep an eye on eBay. Periodically someone lists vintage Williams at a reasonable price.
