What kind of latherer are you?

As I just recently shared with someone I've switched to lathering directly on the soap and I won't go back. I was just curious to see what kind of soap lathers we have here. Face, Bowl, on the soap, etc.?
 
I'm a face latherer.
I load (swirling for 5-10 sec) for one pass (the thin cheap brush can't hold much more anyway) and let the lather be on the face for 2-3 mins to soften the whiskers. Then I correct the lather (depending on the soap I have to add more water bit by bit).
After rinsing between passes I smear the remaining on the face, reload the brush and start over.

I have soft water and I have never needed the practice to soak the soap, hot water on top or something else.
Even MWF which doesn't work for many people doesn't give me any problems this way.
 
Recently switched to mostly face lathering, then I accidentally knocked the bowl off the counter and it smashed, so I'm now strictly faced...

Is that a Freudian...
