+1 If the outside / threads gets messy I will rinse, but normally let what little lather remains on the puck there to dry.
If you don't particularly like a soap, load extra heavy and rinse puck well each time.
Do you rinse your soap puck off after use?

I do a similar thing, except I let my puck dry for the duration of a shave and cleanup. I'm using MWF at the moment and it seems to like being kept well-moisturized - it helps easy of lather..
I like to rinse the outside of the bowl. I tend to get suds that go over the sides.
I rinse the excess suds off, especially from the outside of the bowl or stick, then I pour off any excess water from the puck.
With MWF, I make it a point to leave the puck shiny-wet before I put the lid on. This helps keep it hydrated for next time.

Do you guys leave that plastic cap on along with the screw on lid? Or is it not necessary?
Not I. I only load on the soap puck, then build lather in my scuttle. Close up soap container. Waste of product to rinse. But, it's your soap, so do what you want
Not necessary ... its just there for packing from the factory.
Its like the tin-foil seal on a bottle of aspirin. Once you break the seal, throw it away.
Awesome thanks!
Same.
I used to rinse the soap off clean. Now I care less (maybe 'cuz I really like this soap).
I wipe any product that spills over the sides when loading on my face prior to the shave. After use I leave the lid off until before bed. Rinsing, to me, is just wasting good product.
Wipe the outside of container if necessary. Lid on and put away. No rinsing.
I like to keep it simple. I just use one puck until its finished (no rotating). I leave the soap suds on the puck, and I don't cover the puck. Just air dry in the open.
I do not, I find that rinsing it doesn't really do much for the soap except just wastes it.
I do however store it upside down incase there is any water it doesn't prematurely wet the soap...
Just a habit I formed, probably doesn't do anything.

I'm a more product kinda guy and hence I like loading heavy and face lather. So when I'm gone, there is lather on the sink, puck, walls, mirror, floor, my chest, shoulders, you name it! So needless to say I clean up before exiting the soap bomb area, before the rest of the family members enter.
I also rotate my soaps and can go weeks before opening the same puck, so I rinse the soap container, in and out with cold tap water, let it sit for a few minutes while I clean up, cap it and put it away. I hate seeing left over, dried froth when I open a soap puck and rinsing wastes so little that it does not bother me, not with the volume I gathered!

I leave any persistent protolather or lather on the puck sit there and just let it dry for some hours before closing the tub. I don't bother rinsing it. I find it act as as a good 'fire starter' for my next lather anyway.
I do the same thing but apply it before my final ATG pass.
I always rinse unused lather out of my mugs after using. If you never rinse and let it dry over and over again long enough, it starts turning into a layer of hard soap on the sides of your mug, which is an absolute pain to clean.
I leave the extra lather in my mug with the soap and it's dry by the next morning. I only wipe off the outside of the mug if any lather spills over. Rinsing it off just waste soap.
