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

Guys,
I've been leaving the left over lather in my scuttle mug to 'revive' for the next shave but I'm wondering if this is how I'm supposed to do it. I squeeze out the extra lather from my brush before rinsing it but dump it into the mug. It's one topic I haven't read about yet. It does get a little stubble in it when I re-lather because I don't rinse between passes but once a week or so I will dump the lather at the end of my shave to clean it up. Am I just being cheap or is this ok? I figured I was getting the most out of the soap and I add Cremo for extra glide every couple of days. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong "spot".

I believe some members of the forum do as you do without the Cremo, the frugal ones that is. Can't see what harm it would do.

I generally make enough lather to cover three full passes, squeezing what is left in the brush onto my hand for touch-up. After that, I rinse my brush thoroughly. Even when I bowl lathered, I preferred to clean my bowl and start with fresh lather the next morning. I can understand being frugal, but squeezing the lather from the brush, with all the stubble in it, and saving it for the next shave is going overboard. Then again, to each his own.

The same.
Each shaving is different,i clean my equipment and never left anything behind except the blade in the razor if it's new
Everything goes to his place.

Dump it...It's soap...Make sure you wipe off your razor though..

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

I wash my brush out thoroughly. As for the shaving mug I just put it on its stand to dry. As far as I can see its like putting a wet bar of soap in the soap dish. Never had a problem.

Rinse the mug & brush out each time, fresh soap & brush each time. My soap pucks last plenty long,,,,,

Like ^^^^ he said.....

I usually run an uber lather concoction for about a week the dump it and start again. But the brush is washed and air dried eveyday.
