I've read Holland, Belgium and France as points of manufacture, don't really know. It's a shame though we don't have more widespread access to bargain price good quality shaving products.

Not at all. The company which was producing these Williams creams is Sara Lee, believe it or not! :lol:
,Old Sarah has bought Godrej as well...

So long as they don't mess around with the Godrej formula I'm glad to see they keep it on the market.

Thanks for the info, Malocchio! Can you (or anyone) recommend a Euro vendor who has this? The only European company I've ordered from is Gifts & Care, and they don't have Williams.

Yes, I am. Funny, I can't find it on Amazon, although there are a lot of old Williams ads. Hmm.
