Also, I think using VERY hot water might counteract some of the "obig bowl" problems

I was kinda curious why you would want a scuttle to put the soap puck into - it might just melt away a lot of soap. I would have suggested loading the brush with soap instead.

If you're having trouble loading the brush, maybe try a boar bristle brush instead. They're pretty cheap (maybe <$20) and available in some drugstores. Because the bristles are stiffer you can almost scrape the soap up. I use a boar bristle now, and it's more comfortable on my face if I soak it in hot water in the sink while I shower. I flick out the water then splash a little water on the puck before loading. After that, I either lather on my face or make some uber-lather in a bowl. HTH!
