Thread: Snurdle

So I finally found what I was looking for in a modern art type gallery store in chicago...a nice snurdle...

That looks more like a snurdle scoop!

Is that a metric or a standard snurdle scoop?

Metric is standard, surely?

Hmmm. May need to see the scaling on that scoop to be sure. All the rest of my shaving equipment is scaled either in inches or ounces. I’d hate to have to start converting everything now.

That sir is a very fine "Snurdler" or "Snurdle Dipper" but either way it is a nice one
May you Snurdle in fine health for many years to come, and may all your Snurdles be dipped to the correct amount... For obviously you are a man of uncommon manners as you have aspired to the genteel world of owning a truly beautiful Snurdle Dipper....
For only Uncouth Clods would ever resort to using their brush or god forbid a finger to SCOOP out a bit of cream... Those of us with class and distinction of course use a Snurdler


Snurdle on my friend, snurdle on !!!

Not if it was found in the heart of America, Chicago, Carl Sandburg's "HOG Butcher for the World,
Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,
Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler;
Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the Big Shoulders"

Nope, there is used the English Inch.

Not in the US

Alright, lets put this "snurdler" business to rest once and for all. The origin, well before man knew he had intelligence (which has yet to show in the many posts I have read here ((and enjoy nevertheless))), was in the ateliers of the great pre Renaissance and Renaissance artists where to be an artist one had first to learn to be inventor, engineer, architect and business man if one was to be able to survive. It's humble and continued existence is that of a simple, round ended (generally for there are many variations) palette knife. I have at least 12 of different configurations for scooping, smearing, scraping and, if you must, snurdling. For use at my altar of saponification I use a highly sophisticated form altered over the years for the art of dentistry. Long narrow round rod with a narrow flat paddle at each end to avoid the cross mixing of the purity of said creams. I speak from many years in the studio painting my f--king brains out to no public acclaim thereby having to resort to paid employment till I could retire , join this esteem body of nidiots (spelling correct) and have the chance to vent my spleen (long removed at age seven) and wax eloquently on the state of the art, the fineness of hones, the size of my blade and other rashly important facts of life. I thank you and goodnight Mrs Calabash.
