Thanks to a Member across the street I was able to get my hands on this tin of Williams Shaving Powder.
Like all the vintage soap I have there is no scent other then just generic soap. It was sold to be 3/4 full. I think it is over that. Now I have to figure out how much it takes for a shave!

Is that the original contents?
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

Yes. You turn it to unmask a hole. It should turn into lather so no worse for the blade then any other I think.

I've got a tin of the powder someplace---I just dipped my damp brush on the top of the powder and bowl lathered it. Mine smells like soap as well, maybe scent didn't age well or no scent added the mfg. process. With a damp face, I'm sure it would lather very well also.

Haha. My mistake. I was thinking a dry powder for dry shave. I've never seen a powdered soap for shaving.
