I have some TOBS cream that I use, but it seems like I am going through it awful fast. How do you guys measure out what to use? I am just raking it out with my finger right now. Is there a better way?
How do you get your cream out of the tub?

Load your wet brush directly on the cream in the tub , then lather either in a bowl or directly onto your face/
Some gents use collar stays, or those little plastic sample spoons from ice cream shops.
i just load up my brush from the tub. No reason to scoop out IMHO
Firm creams like CF and QCS, I load right on top.
Soft creams like AOS and GFT, I scoop out with a plastic Ikea knife.

I dip my damp brush directly in the tub. If the cream is very hard (e.g., TOBS Lavender), I may also swirl my brush a few times.
Excellent recommendations above...a Popsicle stick works well, the ones from a craft store are great if you don't like used ones. 
I just twirl the tips of my brush directly into the tub. You do have to be careful. Too much TOBS or AoS and you've got enough lather for eight passes!
I use a clean, dry finger. Then I apply it directly to my cheeks and neck, rub it around with a wet hand to spread it out, then work it with the brush to make lather.
Too many options....what's the correct way to do it 
With my finger.
I turn the tub upside down and lightly swirl the brush around/inside. Most creams are very concentrated so I typically only need 3-5 swirls. I load the tub upside down so excess water from the brush does not get into the container.
I swirl the brush in the tub, and then face lather.
I use my wetted brush, works great.
Using the Force, of course!
lol that's awesome.
I don't like the concept of having to use an extra tool, so, finger it is.
Funny, I don't like using my finger.
And reasons #85 why I don't buy used creams.
You never know where someone's finger has been before it enters the tub...actually, I do know and its why it grosses me out.
wooden Popsicle stick. unused. it was part of a carmel apple package.

That's very true and I never buy a used anything. I mean, you never know in what orifice that brush has been.
