Fingers?? Plastic knives??? Dollop??? oh my oh my

A Snurdler or Snurdle dipper should be used to obtain the proper amount of cream or a Snurdle


ps: snurdles and said implements have been an ongoing thing on SRP for quite some time

I too prefer to use a snurdler. My view is that swirling a wet brush (or even a moist brush) over a tub of cream introduces moisture into the product. But most of us don't leave our cream tubs open to air out as it will dry out the cream in the process. After a while the moisture will accumulate, and as a result the cream may go mushy or, even worse, develop a nasty fungus across the surface.

Now, I know several dedicated tub swirlers will chime in saying this is not the case at all. And perhaps it's just my ODC kicking in, but I prefer to not take any chances when it comes to my shaving creams.

I don't have a "Snurdler" but I use a small demitasse spoon. It's kinda cool....

"Snurdler" Really? Seriously??

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!)

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

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 allways put a dollop in the bowl

now this is snurdling !!!!
