A Lather Games would not be complete without at least one Williams Mug Soap shave. So here it is.
According to this article, Sodium Cocoate is the 3rd ingredient.
A note about WMS, which is often said to be "shit soap"... It is my opinion that WMS does not fit into most of our daily rituals, in that it is not designed to be "lathered". My Williams resides in a mug, specifically a Spearhead Seaforth! mug. Instead of lathering, it works best if you just load a damp/wet brush in the mug, and apply it to your face. Don't add more water, don't "work it"... just put it on your face and go.
This is a no frills product. It's meant to be fast and easy. Most people, including myself, severely overthink this stuff, and end up with shit lather. Williams lather is at it's best directly after the brush is loaded.
Anyway, for the daily challenge, I'm normally a face latherer, and today I mug lathered. Or, I didn't lather at all, I just loaded and went.
Relevent Post Shave and Frag: A WMS user surely would use a basic-bitch aftershave, and that's what Clubman is. They would also use a basic-bitch frag, and Grey Flannel is as basic as it gets. It's straight powdery musk, or something. It smells good, but you aren't impressing anyone with it.
