I save my brush for cleanup last. Run it under some lukewarm water and squeeze from the base; repeat. Then go to the towel and on a dry part make like 30 small circles with the brush, go to another dry spot and go in the opposite direction. Then I "fluff" the edges a bit to get the last bit of moisture out, then stand it up (don't have a stand...yet.)

The advantage to this I found is 1. It doesn't take very long to do. 2. When I "fluff" my brush if there is still a lot of lather and soap in it it shows because the bristles look almost grouped together (if that visual makes sense.) Then I can repeat the process above until I am satisfied if that is the case.
