I just want the soap to last. AOS tallow is out of production, so i'm willing to take steps (that dont impact loading) to prolong its life
Do you rinse your soap puck off after use?

I actually do the opposite of most of you. I don't rinse but I don't dry it either. I leave it in the shave mug or container and actually add a little water before closing the lid (or just leave in mug). This way it's soft and moist the following morning, and I am not really wasting much because the goodness stays in the mug.
After I shave I let it dry as I brush my teeth and get dressed. Before I leave for work I splash on some AS and close up the soap.
What he (domzals1) said. 
Never rinsed off a puck of soap before. I don't really see the need for it. Just let it air dry then close it up and store for later use.
no
Don't rinse the soap.
I'll just rinse the outside of container and then pop lid back on.

I suppose if I regularily bought soaps that came in their own container with a "lid" so I could "close it up", I probably wouldn't rinse either. However, I almost exlusively just use a mug and puck, and I'd rather not have months or years worth of soap-buildup inside my mugs.
Nope! Just let it dry.
Depends on the soap. With MWF, I do, as a dry cake of MWF splinters like the cooked floor of the desert and will turn into a real P.I.T.A. when lathering. It loves moisture. I went on a Tabac binge for 2 months and forgot to wet my nearly used puck and it just shriveled up and broke into pieces. Now when I lather I have to pick little pieces out of the brush. 
I'm just going to get a new puck.
With Tabac and Cella, I just rinse the outside of the container to get the suds off and then cover them up/towel them off.

Now y'all have me worried that I should be lat ting my soaps dry.
I have limited space and I hang the soap, mug and all, from an S-hook. I rinse the mug inside and out so it will hang neatly and not drip any soap from the lip.
I fully endorse this statement.
Me too bro!
I give the puck in the 1940s Old Spice mug that I use a quick cold water rinse. It doesn't take much water to give it a rinse so I don't figure much soap is wasted. It leaves things looking tidy.
Come to think of it, what is the purpose of the rinsing? If it's to preserve the soap by removing the foam, why? The foam is just soap and water; the soap wont hurt the soap, and rinsing to remove the water is counterproductive isn't it?
Mu current soap doesn't need rinsing; it's a shave stick. 
The lather starts to cake to the sides of my mug and starts drying into a thick layer of soap if left long enough, and enough times. I'd rather just rinse the lather out than let it build up and then have to scrub it off later.
