My Mitchell Wool Fat soap and container

I don't think I live in a dry climate.

Yes, I leave water on top of the soap for a minute or two before using it. Isn't that called "bloom?"

In my experience of having gone through a dozen MWF pucks, it's the blooming that causes the cracks once the water evaporates.

I take a slightly damp brush to the soap and once loaded, wipe off excess lather from the puck. Haven't had a single crack appear since I stopped wetting the puck before use.
 
Do you have your puck of MWF in their ceramic container? If so how do you keep it from swirling around when you load your brush? I stopped using MWF because of the cracking as I only use it 1-2 times a month.
