Post #657 Combe Email Confirming Williams Mug Shave Soap Discontinued

Good stuff! I only have a dozen so far.
Deleted your post? Hmmm? That's an obvious sign of an unfounded argument.
Current count 53 modern pucks. (And about 80 vintage).
Y'know, if it really gets discontinued... Modern pucks will become vintage! We'll have to start referring to the modern pucks as "Combe era" just to keep it clear.
Might want to let it go now, especially at it was you who threw the first insult.
All I know is that it makes me sad when a product with such a long history goes away.
From a purely rational business standpoint it makes sense regardless of our little pocket of resistance. The greatest consumers of Williams Mug soap, to venture a guess, were the WWII generation. They are almost all gone. I am sorry to see it go.
And them, too.
Agreed. I have tried Williams and prefer other soaps, but, I do appreciate the history of the product and hate to see it go.
Just curious, those of you that use Williams regularly....how many shaves to you get out of a puck?
Has anyone thought to email Tamara back for an explanation for the discontinuation?
1.5 to 2 months of daily use on average, depending on load times.
I know some of The WISE Men have gone longer.
Ugh...I keep tryin'.... but no luv for Marvy.
I'm waiting for your Marvy review (if you buy it)!
I've got a puck with 20 shaves on it right now. I bet it will go for at least another 30, but I have it tabled at the moment.
I was basically "meh" on the product, but I have "given it a go" the last two days and I do get a nice frothy lather by pre-soaking the puck.
Got a pretty good shave.

I will truly miss Williams Mug Soap. It always worked well for me. I have been using it for 45 years. It was always readily available. Now all that is available is VDH. The usual assortment of canned creams and gels of course. NOTHING FOR THE REFINED GENTLEMAN HOWEVER. I guess I'll have to go Commando!
The Phoenix will rise from the ashes - not as a can of Williams Goo hopefully!
After 175 years I think Williams deserves a formal press release, even if its just on their website.
Put me in the camp that hopes it gets bought by another company. Who knows how much the rights cost however.

That just makes me want to try it even more.
