Scoop some out and lather in a bowl.A seemingly simple question. How can I load the brush from a small container (2.5 inches) without making a mess? Judging by the looks, my badger brush has at least the same size when bloomed.
I actually have an empty container that has the right size. I saved it when I finished the soap. I could just transfer the soap into that, but I was hoping there is a trick to use the original container.Scoop some out and lather in a bowl.

For me, bowl lathering is so much less messy. That said, we all have our preferences. I always scoop, smear the soap/cream thin in the bottom of my lathering bowl and proceed to make the lather. I don't like soap in the threads of the soap containers so lathering from them doesn't interest me. A bowl is easy to clean... you need somewhere to put your brush in between passes anyway... It's just more simple for me. I know this goes without saying... but I feel that obligation so people know I'm not being dogmatic: YMMV. <Eg>
