Saving the lather?

[Jobol]

I am not being a cheapskate, but every time I wash off my brush and bowl that are still loaded with lather, I can't help but ask myself if there is a way to save that lather instead of it going down the drain.

Even the tiniest amount of product (cremes) produces a lot more leather than I need. So using less doesn't seem to be working out either.

So I was thinking maybe squeeze the lather out of the brush into the bowl and covering the bowl with plastic wrap?

What are your thoughts on this?

I squeeze mine back onto the soap and put the lid on it. It is soap after all. It may not make much of a difference but i do it anyway.

I would imagine that after awhile the lather would break down or destabilize, but I guess it's worth a shot to see what happens.

Sorry for the imprecision, I use creams not soap.

I asked something similar once in a humorous way and got some pretty funny answers.

I save my lather. It makes the lather easier to build and much creamier. I prefer soaps to creams. But I imagine that the preface is still the same.

with so many soaps and creams I haven't tried I want to go through the ones I have faster to make a good argument with the wife on why i need more so I really never have thought of saving lather. However, on the other hand I read a post last night about putting the unused lather back on a puck of williams to help it later better the next go around. That I might have to try, just can't bring myself to get rid of it!

I wonder what any of the mods, or anyone who's been around since the beginning feels on this? What do you think?

The lather will dry out and break down. Why bother saving it unless you are going to use it right away?
