Soap to Bowl what do you use ?

I used to face lather, but this past week have bowl lathered and think it makes much better lather.
I load the soap on my brush and make the lather in the bowl. Every few seconds I scrape the brush gently on the edge of the bowl, as the lather seems to make itself within the brush! I suppose I finish off face lathering as I paint the lather on my face.
