There was a store local to me that used to sell current production Williams shave pucks on the cheap so a couple of years back I bought 4 or 5 on a whim as they do have tallow and I was curious. The first shave was not good however. Poor lather and little glide. It was then that I cut up one puck into small pieces and then kneaded in 40 drops (2 ml) of glycerin that I use to lube razors with. I pressed it into a plastic bowl and let it cure for months while shaving with other soaps. Fast forward to today & I broke it out and poured very hot water onto it in the bowl & then showered. Dumping the water upon exit I hit it with a black fiber synthetic and face lathered. Marvelous lather and the kicker: the shave with a Silver Blue blade used twice before was simply outstanding!! The added glycerin really brought this into the winner's circle IMO. Try it. Glycerin is sold at Walmart dirt cheap.
