I have been using a plastic sample spoon from the local ice cream store, but perhaps it is time for me to step up my game. A baby feeding spoon is about the right size. They are available in plastic, pewter, silverplate and even sterling silver. If you want to get really fancy, the more expensive ones could be engraved with your name or initials. If I can find the silver spoon given to me at my birth, it might find a new purpose after decades of disuse.

I'm surprised you don't have a seven day set of these snurdlers made of silver with the days etched in 24kt gold! What's the world coming to?

Yes of course you want your Snurdler to dry properly and relax between uses so a seven day set is important!

From my lab ...

One side is a spatula.
One side has 0,5g spoon.

I was rummaging among the items I kept from my Mother's effects that my siblings didn't want years ago and found my new snurdle. The one on top is an old dentist's tool that I've been using for years. The small demitasse spoon below it is my new snurdle. It is a demitasse spoon from the Ambassador Hotel in Chicago circa early 1920s. It was "liberated" by my Dad as a souvenir for my Mother as a remembrance of their honeymoon in that hotel. She kept in one drawer or another all these past years. I remember playing with as a child and Mother making sure that it got put safely back in the drawer.

Very cool story about the liberation Bill.
Seeing that it was mom & dad's honeymoon it's meaningful too.

They make a perfect pair.

As I used my snurdler, I realized rather quickly that I needed another tool to scrape the soap off of the snurdler and into the bowl. The softer the soap the more the scraper is needed. If I try to remove the soap from the snurdler with my fingers, I end up making a mess and might as well have snurdled the soap out of it's container just using my fingers.
The fix for me is using a narrow plastic cocktail stirrer I call the "soap flicker." It has worked great for me and I no longer get soap all over my fingers.

You're lucky. You have a mated pair right from the start.

Yeah, I usually just rake the snurd off on the edge of my bowl and use the snurdler to flick it into the bottom.
