hello all, I have a few questions about shaving soap.

1) What do I keep the soap in?

2) If I keep the soap in a soap bowl, do I make the lather in the bowl?

3) Where do I make the lather? do I transfer the soap to a mug? How do I transfer it, and do I transfer the whole thing or do I cut off a bit of soap with a knife?

In fact, it would be really helpful if someone could outline the steps of using shaving soap.

Thanks!
