Did your complaint finally run them out of business?

I've been hearing about this for years, but I keep seeing it at my store. Maybe I will pick up a couple of pucks. I still like the modern Williams, too.

Ugh. Yea. This kind if snuck in on me. I looked over at ebay. The prices are through the roof. I hope they keep making ARKO and Derby. Lol. Then again I do have a “ few” cakes left here and there.

Not the greatest news I’ve heard today.

I hope this is like the great Williams scare of 2015. Someone on TSD started a thread about a referenced email received by a fellow shaver that sounded eerily similar as the one Dave received. I started looking around the interwebs and found a number of similar incidents through the years. I sincerely hope it is not true....I can feel myself fighting off my emergency-hoarder mentality. I may have to swing by my local mom-and-pop pharmacy to check the shelves and potentially pick up some more boxes. Perhaps I'll pick up a few rolls of TP while I'm at -- you never know.
In all seriousness, this would be a great loss to those of us who truly appreciate our Williams.
Edit/Note: I just did a quick survey of my "usual" online Williams sources, and they are "out of stock" or the price is several-fold higher than usual. Dang, this is starting to feel real.

From what I've heard they discontinued producing November of 2021 and when it's gone it's gone. I think it's about as real as it gets as I'm not the only one that's gotten one of these emails from them I just wanted my own to confirm others that were reported.
