Thread: Snurdle

Now, answer me this... What exactly is the difference between a snurdle and a butter knife? Pardon me for being so thickheaded in the snurdle area.

A properly executed snurdle dipper CAN be made from a butter knife if properly cut ground,and bent to conform to the contours of your chosen lather bowl.Or,you can remain uncouth and use an unbent butter knife or some other such barbaric implement.

You won't be able to find them. They are extinct like the dinosaurs..the last of the great snurdle grinders in Spain Senor Sindufo Vinagreta Y unga de Vaca, ground the last one over a century ago.

Really? Oh, damn!

Goodness sakes, wish that I had gotten a picture to help you all see first hand the type of crafty con to watch out for.

Tell me about it....I have two counterfeit Senor Vaca snurdles in my collection, I show these to alert the unexperienced collector...The one on the left is a counterfeit 1901 Senor Vaca scroll handle, and the one on the right is a counterfeit 1890 ivory handle large size Vaca snurdle to be use for large vats of shaving cream. The give away...the one on the left has a pointed end (snurdles are rounded) and the one on the right has a cerrated edge...snurdles are blunt.

A snurdle really is not a butter knife as I previously stated...if anything, a snurdle is akin to frame of mind in a state of ' shaving' ...you dont just scoop out the cream like a savage...but rather you elegantly snurdle out the perfect amount...

So once you realize this and use this knowledge, you have magically transformed a mere butter knife into a snurdle...




Wow - I really did just write that...

Of course, if that's a Filarmonica snurdle, you can expect the value to take a sudden, inexplicable jump... mediocre snurdles at best

Just to make sure we're all on the right track,a snurdle is an almond sized scoop of shaving cream,not the device used to scoop it out.

Snurdle: An almond sized dollop of shave cream. Often described as the "ideal" amount of shaving cream prior to creating lather. A snurdle may be applied directly into the breach of the brush or into the vessel used for creating the lather. Many spoon or blunt knife like objects are used for measuring out a snurdle such as a butter knife, ice cream sample spoon or a finger.

Wow you guys are pretty well infected with this stuff. Aren't you? I may need to pull out before the medication no longer works. lol
