Thanks, Fuzzy.
I wasn't sure what I really needed to do for the old puck. So, I just did what I thought seemed logical. I had read threads about grating the soap and adding boiling water, then letting it dry for 4-5 days (some added menthol crystals). All of this was to rehydrate the soap. I didn't want to do that just yet, but I felt I probably needed to do something. Perhaps I was mistaken.

It really is a great performing soap, and from what I could tell from my short research, this puck probably dates as far back as the 1950's to early 60's. The price circle has the 19 cents stamped in the middle and also on the front of the box is another price of 5 cents handwritten. The puck inside was wrapped in a paper Aqua Velva advertisement.

On another note, I still have the puck of Colgate Shaving Mug soap that I have not used yet. I may try using it without blooming first and see how it goes. Its box has a barcode on it so I know it is newer than this puck of vintage Williams.
Yes try it without blooming. I think you will find the Colgate as good almost as the Wlliams!!
Happy shaves to ya!

Late post for Williams Wednesday. Vintage Williams with Aqua Velva and a 1912 with a hand turned handle. Outstanding lather from the 1305. Wonderful shave.

Williams Wednesday's Schicktember Shave
[Image: cws.png]

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #340
Schick C3 Repeater
Personna injector
CWR
Florida Water

Today is Day 9 of SEptember and my first Schicktember shave. Up for the challenge today is my Schick C3 Repeating Razor.

The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #340 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick C3 Repeater razor with a Personna injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Interesting, I am using my Star with baton handle for my Williams Wednesday shave tomorrow. I really like the way it handles too.
