Well, I am addicted enough that I find myself making lather even when I don't need to shave. I thought I could use the practice with the soaps, and tonight I finally got it. I had the soap in a coffee mug, soaked the brush in hot water, did a few whirls and began lathering in a bowl. I got a huge bowl full of what I consider to be beautiful lather. Here's when the light bulb went off. The bowl I had used was one of those glade disposables with a lid. Why not save the lather to use later?? Does anybody do this? Does it work ok? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!---BR
