Double Moose!

The way I do it, I don't really get the ring of death. I get cliffs of despair.

Have a good one.

Do you dig out a chunk and bowl lather?

More like a slice or a wedge. Smoosh into the bowl, then lather it up.

I use a cosmetic spatula that is like a guitar pick on a stick. The comma shaped spatula is good to get a swipe of pomade.
