I tried the first, but found that the lather would tend to dry up.
Now I use a small scuttle and I like it, since the brush is nestled nicely in it, with a larger surface in contact with the walls of the scuttle making for good heat transfer. I can use a Chubby 1 up to a 28mm knot brush with my small moss just fine.
