Williams Discontinued…

With Williams Mug Soap being officially discontinued, according to multiple sources, it makes a guy wonder which vintage soap is next…

“ Thank you for contacting us regarding Williams Mug Soap.

We are sorry to inform you that it has been discontinued.

Thank you for your interest in Williams Mug Soap.
Sincerely,

I enjoyed Williams. With so many great artisan soaps to be had, it really doesn't affect my shaving though

I got the same email from Cesar yesterday.  Bummed.  I've not yet tried Arko.  But being a fan of low cost options, I'm gonna order some pronto.  And if I like it, I'm gonna order a bunch more in case it goes under too.

I don't use Williams or Arco but tried them both in the past and understand their appeal.   There is much to be said for a basic, modestly priced shaving soap which performs well.   I prefer Arco in the red bowl to Williams.

MWF, no doubt.

Did some quick research on cheaper shave soaps/creams in case it might help and came up with these names and I'm sure there are others.  I have not tried any of them except Arko which since I've learned how to lather it really like.

Derby, Godrej, Arko, LaToja, Speick, Lea, Palmolive

Speick and Palmolive were both great but Speick has been reformulated and I think Palmolive has been discontinued.
