Does everyone rinse between passes? I always do but I find that it can make my lather too watery by the final pass, so I have to go back to the puck.
Normally I don't rinse.
I only rinse if I feel that the face need a bit more moisture.
Oh, and Hotel Dusk is one of my favourites -- great user name, Kyle Hyde.
I face lather and I rinse with warm water between passes.
YMMV, I only rinse between passes when it is needed. Sometimes, especially when face lathering, the soap in the brush can get very dry.
What Neil and Rich said...I rinse, if only to get the old lather and bits of face and fur off prior to a fresh coat. Doing so also remedies having to add any water to the brush.
