As Glen has already pointed out, A refined gentleman uses a snurdler. at this point in time....

I have actually made one out of a tongue depressor that I sealed with Poly so scents don't mix. Home made snurdler.(Actually done out of necessity as I have been looking for an old school Japanese tea snurdler thingy!)

Yeah, I cannot speak for anywhere except where I have lived or anything except what I have used, but I've got several half-used tubs of shaving cream from around 2006 that are still basically in good condition and I am a wet brush swirler. YMMV.

One of those plastic collar stiffeners that come with dress shirts make for a pretty damn good snurdler in a pinch.

+1

And, if its your thing, they are also quite handy for taking a pinch of snuff! I actually have a nice set of decorative metal collar stiffeners that came with a particularly nice shirt my dad bought me (I'm too mean to buy expensive shirts); I find these make for quite genteel snurdlers!

I'm a scooper with creams in tubs, but I do prefer tubes. The reason I scoop is that I don't want to 'contaminate' the cream in the tub my allowing water to drip in from the soaked brush, or even any 'contamination'
from the brush it self.

I HAVE considered using my son's silver christening spoon, but I'm not sure I'd live to tell the tale...

I always thought a snurdler was something you found in your skivees after eating Mexican food.

Yes!

McDonalds uses snurdlers as coffee stirrers. Next time you go to Micky D's get one and use their implement for its intended purpose.
