Soap Holders Unite!

Hello Fellow Latherers!



I'm just curious to see who else has discovered the joys of holding the soap in his hand to lather. At first I discovered this by accident, when my Cade soap was homeless for a few months. Using a sopping-wet brush, the lather gathered right up around the puck on my hands (and didn't get away into the sink too much) in addition to inside the brush; bubbly and copious. Then I smeared what was on my hand on my face and commenced: it was fun! The kind of fun when you can't help yourself and simply smile! Especially with a boar! A great, puffy, cushiony, awesome lather. Perhaps I like this because being tidy with my soaps in bowls or jars appeals to me less than being rough and sloppy with loading!



I let the soap dry for a day if I think I want something different the next day, and wrap it up and stow it away again in my treasure box. I find it so fun, that I was slightly sad that my Mitchell's Wool Fat was stuck fast in its porcelain bowl. Today I did it with Arko, which I had squished into a puck-shape. Fantastic.



Anyone else love this? Anyone else go to Mike's Natural Soaps website just to see that picture of lathering up the soap bar?
