## Overview

Williams Mug Shaving Soap, a heritage formula since 1840, delivers a rich, long-lasting lather that softens skin and fits most shaving mugs. Designed for a smooth, irritation-free shave, it offers an affordable, classic grooming experience favored by discerning men who value tradition and quality.

## Description

In 1840, James B. Williams manufactured the first shaving soap for use in shaving mugs. Today, Williams Mug Shaving Soap is still number one, because it lathers quickly, and the lather lasts.

Review: It's all about the technique and HOT WATER! - Williams shaving soap with a good brush and reasonable blade will give you the best shave possible which IMHO is one of life's small pleasures, not to mention that your significant other will appreciate a smooth face to embrace. Williams soap is mild on the skin (the "Dove" of shaving soaps) and has a pleasant mild scent. It will create the lather you desire if you use hot water + time + a good brush. I like the other reviewer's disclaimer - "beware this will make you smell like a man" :-) What you might not read in other reviews is that the soap, razor, etc. is perhaps less important than how you use them. So here is the technique that I wish to pass on to men of shaving age everywhere: 1) Shave AFTER you shower if possible. 2) You MUST have hot water - if not then use an electric razor. 3) Lather your face lightly then apply a hot washcloth to your face for 15 - 30 seconds. This softens your beard and makes shaving MUCH easier. 4) Relather - this time nice and thick - then shave. 5) Clear any remaining soap with your nice warm washcloth and apply aftershave of your choice. This process takes me about 5 minutes, I NEVER cut myself and with practice you will have similar results not to mention that your face will be smooth as silk with no irritation. Hope you enjoy!
Review: Perfect Cheap Shaving Soap That Doesn't Iritate - Firstly a shaving soap bar like this will last you a while, I'm talking months to a year(if you don't shave every day). Right there is enough reason to get this. Compared to a shaving cream, those foam cans or anything else out there, you will not find anything besides not shaving that will save you more money. The smell it has can be described as the smell you would expect from a well groomed and dressed man in the 1920's. Its manly yet clean. The scent doesn't really cling to your face so it won't conflict with any cologne and if you want some of that clean manly goodness then just take some of the un-lathered soap and massage it into your face. Obviously this comes in a box and requires either a shaving mug, bowl, or a sufficiently large cup to keep it in. Sure you can keep it in the box and lather in your hands but the box will eventually fall apart and it won't look as good. The soap itself is extremely gentle and I could see myself using this into infinity, it doesn't dry your face no matter if you only shave once or 3 times(for that super close shave some of us struggle with). Conclusion: Get this if you want something to put on your face so you don't wreck it during a shave that won't dry out your face or your wallet, nor overpower your cologne.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: total noob question, but how do you use this?  Is it intended to literally be placed in a mug?  If so what do you do with it after each shave?**
A: 1. Soak a new puck covered with water in a mug over night.  This allows virtually any shaving brush to pick up the soap.2. Soak a used puck for 15 to 30 minutes while you shower.  You can soak your brush in the same mug as the soap.3. Pour the water off and catch the puck into your hand.4. Squeeze or shake out most of the water in your brush.5. Swirl the brush on the puck in your other hand.  Flip the puck over and continue to load the brush.6. When the torque begins to build on your brush, it has probably taken all the soap that it can.7. Put the puck back into the empty mug.8. Put the soap/lather onto your face from the hand you loaded the soap on.9. Build your lather on your face for a couple of minutes adding a dribble of hot water to the center of your brush every 15 seconds or so.10. You can vary the consistency of your lather by the amount of water added.11. If the lather dries out on your face, you need to add much more water.  This soap is a thirsty.I like my lather to be on the wet side so that it is very slick.Check here for more instructions:http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/398095-Williams-Institute-for-Shaving-Excellence-%28WISE%29Enjoy a nice smooth shave.

**Q: What does it smell like?**
A: It doesn't have a strong fragrance. It smells like.....unscented soap.

**Q: In the long run, is this product cheaper to use instead of a can of Barbasol?**
A: What do you mean "in the long run"? :) I got my puck of Williams from the local pharmacy store for $1.29 :)While I am not a fan of this particular soap (yet), if the choice was between it and anything in a can, I would always choose this. It's a "respect yourself in the morning" product. To give you an idea: I've been using my tub of Proraso soap (which cost less than $10) for the past 2 years. I am about 1/3 into it (or less), so it should last me 6 years when all is said and done :) And Proraso is a softer soap, so most likely Williams will last longer (keep in mind that it's a smaller amount by weight).Oh, and no, it doesn't depend on how often you shave - because that would apply to any product - it's still you shaving with it :)

**Q: Do you have to use it in a mug? Can you just rub it in your hands and apply to face?**
A: I use it in a mug. I let it soak in hot water in the mug while I shower. It lathers fine at first but dissappears fast. Have to relather and shave a section of my face at a time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Product But Too Expensive
*by D***H on October 28, 2024*

Williams Shaving Soap is excellent, lathers well, very lite scent and last for months. But with all that considered, it is Too highly PRICED. There are many other options on the market for far less cost that will do the job.
