Ward's Reviews - Williams Mug Shave Soap
« on: May 02, 2009, 06:41:14 AM »
At a 'buck for a puck', who wouldn't want to try out this legendary shave soap. I found mine at CVS. I'm using a $5 boar brush from Walmart, so my review might differ from others using a higher quality brush.


Ease of lathering: Very easy. I found lathering on my head is SO much easier than building a lather in a mug. I get the soap wet with water, then work the wet brush in circles till my brush is filled with soapy goodness. Then I work the lather on my head, adding water to the brush as needed.

Life span of lather: Decent. Williams seems to crave water, so I use a good bit during the shave.

Moisturizing: Not really a moisturizing soap. I actually favor this quality, as my head feels nice and clean after the shave.

Lubrication: Not bad, not great. Most soaps aren't known to be as lubricating as creams, but offer a closer shave.

How protective?: Decent protection for a soap.

Scent: This is what keeps me coming back to Williams Mug Soap. The lemon scent is amazing. Can't beat it.

Price: A bit more than a $1 for a puck, are you kidding me.

Would you buy again?: Yes


Ease of lathering - 9/10

Life span of lather - 7/10

Moisturizing - 6/10

Lubrication - 6/10

How protective? - 6/10

Scent -10/10

Price - 10/10

Would you buy again? 9/10

Overall: 8/10

Thanks for the review bro, I've used Williams off and on, I'd give it another .5 if used in conjunction with the mentholated HeadSlick, it glides a bit better, and doesn't dry the skin out as much.

Thanks for the review!

I'd like to give Williams a shot, as for now I mix Van Der Hagen shave soap with HeadSlick and get a really nice lather. Anyway, thanks for the review  O0

It has a pretty nice scent. Nothing to necessarily brag about but it does have a clean fresh smell. The great thing about it is it produces a quality lather, and has you feeling very refreshed once you're done shaving.

I keep a puck of this stuff around as a back up in case I run out of my other products. I actually like the stuff and for the price it's a bargain.
