Same company makes both products. Perhaps I should stock up.
What's the future for Aqua Velva if Williams Mug Soap is Being Discontinued?
- Thread starter Dog Whiskerer
- Start date
Just another vicious rumor, neither one is going away.
I've seen correspondence from the manufacturer via a Facebook group confirming that the soap has indeed been discontinued 
Naturally I cannot verify this correspondence, but thought I'd share what I'd seen.

I agree with Dave. Mixed messages out there in the cyber-world. I don't see any threat to AV. Shaving soaps are not widely used and are a niche product these days. Most shavers use canned goo.
OTOH, almost every shaver uses aftershave, so market for AV is geometrically larger than that for shaving soap.

Thanks BSAGuy and I just found the thread I referred to. The member claims to have heard directly from Combe and they told him the mug soap is on the way out. I remembered it the other way around but all I read just now was the first post so there may well be some other opinions or 'evidence' to the contrary.
AV going away would be tragic IMO. You can find AV everywhere so I assume it still sells well enough to keep around?
Williams going away is, well, not so tragic for me. I know some guys like it and I would love it if they'd go back to making decent soap again instead of just killing it but I don't like the current stuff.

Agreed
One individual called Combe and he was told there were no immediate plans to end Wiliams soap. Subsequently, two individuals reported they received emails from Combe that the soap was "in the process of being discontinued."
I do like the AV and the AV Musk as well! Glad it will remain in production..
