Vintage Williams Luxery Shaving Cream

Found this last weekend.



Opaque blue jar, not like the Noxzema shaving jars I've seen, which were translucent.





There is some stuff left in the jar, but even I am reluctant to give it a go.



I haven't been able to google up any info on this, other then tubes of Williams.

Nice jar though.

I like the label. Maybe ca. 1942? Williams with soothing lanolin was advertised in LIFE around that time. Product development probably went on hold during the war, and then in the 1950s there was an "extract of lanolin" campaign.

Should you find it aesthetically displeasing after awhile, it would look excellent on my shelf. just sayin'

Cool. Put it on a display shelf.

That's very cool. Contents look pretty crusty, but very cool jar. Nice find.

I like it. It's definitely a unique item.

Great find, pour some warm water in there and see what happens.

Neat find.

I am curious what the fragrance is or once was.
