Oh, I understand. I have a lather bowl from either The Shaven Sailor or Fine Accoutrements. I just scoop out a fingertip size amount and lather away in the bowl. Not sure if that is an option.It'snot really so much the amount of soap, it's just that I prefer loading my brush from a larger container.
I like the soap well enough that it isn't a deal breaker, just a wish.
