    Every time I see the word “snurdler” I chuckle. When I saw the title for this thread, I laughed out loud.

    What I get from the usage on SRP is that snurdle might be a dollop of shaving soap or cream, but it might also be a verb as in “He tried to snurdle some shaving cream into a bowl”. And, a snurdler might be a tool you use to measure out a snurdle, or it might be a person who regularly snurdles.

    Does anyone know the origin of the word?

    Gee, that one is not even rusty! I passed the snurdler mantle to Roy.

    I chop the blade off 2 inches long and hit the bench grinder with a fine stone. Grind the edge up until like the spine.
    Then dig in and shape it. A little 600 on a Dremel wheel to smooth things out.
    Lots of Buffer, Black compound.

    Thanks for the hints. I dont have a bench grinder but i got a lot of other tools that should do the trick.

    This "pull out your snurdler", let alone suggesting use of a grindwheel and a Dremel is making me think I need to talk to a counselor...

    Actually, in the Urban dictionary, it has a whole different meaning! For your review:

    That's the one I was looking for again. Found the OED version to post earlier.

    I'm not cool enough to use a snurdler; in any case, I normally load the brush out of the original container and face-lather.

    But if your urban dictionary definition applies, a snurdler would have a field day in my house between me and my dog. And I just made a pot of chili with beans haha!

    My plan is to use the Snurdler when dealing with samples. When i have a jar or cup of soap i work from the container. But thats not possible when you have a sample in a container the size of a quarter!
    Plus, why not!
