Those of you who shower barehanded: Do you lather and then use your hand, or just shove the soap wherever it needs to go?

My parents were British and they used to have two washing bowls. Pile the dirty dishes into one and fill with warm water and dish soap. Clean water in the second bowl for rinsing. After a while the second bowl builds up residual soap so it needs to be emptied and refilled. I figure I use the same amount of water rinsing under a running faucet. But the soak thing is a great tip - leaving dishes in water to soak makes cleaning them so much easier.
I prefer to just leave the hot tap running throughout, but down on low flow (basically the lowest I can have it with the combi boiler still on, but because it's so slow it's actually even hotter than full flow). The constant heat really helps loosen everything, then when the plate or whatever is on the rack to dry it's steaming.
But yeah most British people would be horrified with the way I do it hah.
