I would load my brush for about 20 to 30 seconds and then face lather. See how dished out the puck was?

I popped it out of the container and began pushing over the edges to flatten it out.

So, here it is after I went all the way around breaking over the edge.

Now it is ready to just rub on my face before building the lather thus skipping the need to load the brush.

Here I am building a lather with Mitchell's Wool Fat after I just rubbed it on my face. I have decided from now on, I will be just rubbing my soap puck/cake straight on my face before lathering.
Just for fun, let's see you rub one of those 1 kg soap bricks on your face.

Sounds Good...Me Too...kinda been doing that...but since face loading and lathering is the best way to go. I'll sign your declaration.?
