Thread: Do you dump the lather from your mug or leave it for the next shave?

Mwf is my most expensive soap so far. I just keep reminding myself that it's soap and more than likely it kills germs and bacteria

I never save the lather. I start fresh everytime. Lather is to inexpensive to reuse. To each his own.

I do not see it as saving lather. If you just let it all dry in the bowl, it is the same result as if you dried the soap in a dish. Every morning I have a clean bowl with a puck of soap in it. The lather just disappears... I do not have a soap collection either though.

I'm finding that my habits changed a bit when I started ordering sample packs. I still leave the lather in the mug, the lather falls and soap dries for the next day. I do dump it every three or four shaves to get rid of any stubble that finds its way into the mug, (that's a change). My internal battle is....... I'm basically cheap so I try to wring out as much as possible BUT I can't wait to try the next soap! So I am dumping it more frequently.
Next dilemma, what to do with the "stuff" that I collect that I don't like. Good example is the "almond" col conk sample. It is way toooo sweet for me and can't stand it but "cheap" me won't throw it away. Should we form a trade group? Or is there already one rolling?
Happy shaving,

I clean and dump after every shave, and I do believe I still haven't finished any of the creams I bought since 2005. I know I've barely started making a dent in the pucks.

Fresh lather every time with different software. It is a part of this beautiful ritual.

Waste not, want not.

The soaps that I do not like, for any reason, become my pre-lather cleanser and softener.

Wet thoroughly, apply the unlikened soap. Let sit while doing other things.
Rinse off, and apply the good soap.

Works for me. But, if you are experiencing a type of allergic reaction then get rid of it or give it to someone who can use the product.
