Newbie soap puck questions...

[gmeyers]

Hello,
I am new to wet shaving and have a couple of questions and concerns.

At first I would have my soap in my mug and fill it with hot water and put my brush in while I took a shower. I dumped out the water and whipped up a lather with the water that was left in the bottom and what was in the brush. I seemed to burn through the puck pretty quickly. I have since just soaked my brush in water and kept the soap dry untill I whipped it with the wet brush. So far this seems to do pretty good. So this gets me to my question, After I have shaved and and im cleaned up, Do I rinse and wash out my mug, or just leave the remaining lather in there unitll I shave again?
Thanks for the responses.
