Scrub and paint. I like very large scuttle that I can both bloom my soap and whip a very large amount of lather. Yes, I suppose I could join the cold water shavers as well. At least clean up is easy!
That may depend on if you are North or South of the equator. Are you taking into account Sidereal Rotation?
If I had a puck of Williams, I'd bloom it 'till it was all gone...assuming water will dissolve Williams. Then I'd souse the mug and sink out with a couple of gallons of fresh water. Good to go, then, with a fresh puck of Mike's Natural Soap in the mug. Bully!
I’m an occasional painter and an occasional bloomer and sometimes I souse my soaps. What ever mood strikes me in the morning. I prefer pillowy soft sissy brushes
