Gotta give it a proper test, whats better than a weeks worth of growth.
Thank you! I bought them during April of 2007, but separately. The brush came first, from a member on B&B; not long after, I saw the mug (tarnished as could be) on eBay, and snapped-it-up — it was the "girdles" of silver balls on both of them that cried out "Matched pair! Buy me!" Of course, I listened to the voices. The brush was bristled in dyed boar... and raggedy. I sent it off to Bernd @Shavemac, who replaced them with nice badger hair. It's an excellent brush for shaving creams — especially the soft ones.Quote:

A snurdle is exactly that, a gentleman's tool for extracting just enough cream for a shave.

There ya go..! I've used it with creams, croaps, and soaps.
Its just being "Fancy", like ...the nobles were, compared to town peasants. Can't get soap on my hand, must maketh a instrument to relieve such duties, type crap. :rofl2:
Shirley they do but it is a DIY project. look at photo in post #14 in the link. You can also use a popsicle stick too. The tool is called a snurdler to get just the right amount of cream out which is called a snurdle of cream.Quote:

A snurdler is for moving a dab of shaving soap from a container to another bowl/scuttle. Some just don't use those.
Lots of ways to make lather. Hard soaps work well when snurdled into a bowl/scuttle for a little hot water soak before working up a lather there.
You can use a spoon, pocket knife, or a cocaine pinky-nail if you have one! :)
Still can't change the front page for whatever reason but you can always check out the featured shave of the day here https://sharprazorpalace.com/section/shave-day-21/
