My New Snurdler

As I sat here perusing various forums, I came across anumber of threads regarding snurdles and snurdle dippers. At first, I found them rather amusing. I thought, "What a great group of wellhumored gentlemen are on this site." But then I saw the dictionary entry posted by Strapped-4- Cash (entry#16 http://straightrazorpalace.com/miscellaneous-shaving-equipment/47200-snurdle-2.html).
GREAT NEPTUNE’S TRIDENT!!! I AM ONE OF THE SNURDLELSS SAVAGES OF WHICH THEY SPEAK!!! NEVER, NOT EVEN ONCE, HAVE I SNURDLED SHAVECREAM PRIOR TO A SHAVE!!!! QUICK!! TO THE WORKSHOP!!!!
I quickly proceeded to my workshop where I found a nice piece of Box Elder. I researched the proper measurements to hold one standard snurdle. I worked feverishly to accomplish the task. After it was fashioned into a proper tool, Ihad it certified by the U.S. Department of Weights and Measures (*pending).
But alas, all I have are soaps, no creams to snurdle. So, I purchased some Spencer & DevonSagebrush shave cream.

Now, I can shave like a proper gentleman. I am complete. There is nothing that I lack.
Er, excuse me a moment. Someone just posted a new thread.
Nuts, I don’t have that. I’ll be right back.

A true "Blast From The Past"

The original Snurdle Dipper thread was lost in the Crash.. but you just brought back some fun memories

A lot classier than my Popsicle stick snurdler for sure.

Wow, I must be of them there uncouth savages.... I use my little finger held extended straight out, like when I is drinkin' tee with them fancy wimmen folk!
Guess I needss me one of theese dohickeys.

That's a nice looking snurlde dipper you've crafted for yourself, mine is nowhere near as nice. I'm sad to say mine is a repurposed ice cream tasting spoon. :( I can't wait to get the tools and shop unpacked. Looks like I have work to do.

Heresy! To the stocks with him! :rofl2:

You know what would be cool? A snurdle that retracts through the knot and into the brush handle. That way it's always on hand, and any cream that sticks to it gets pulled right into the hairs. (This idea is copyrighted as of now by me.)

A true bit of shaving esoterica.

Great Scott!!!!!! We lost the original?????

I just like saying and hearing the word "SNURDLE" in general.........................

... after several design attempts I failed to improve on the function of a popsicle stick..... so I made a popsicle stick out of ebony. I later modified one end to a smaller radius. I did this to facilitate my goatee, as after my rather liberal application of lather, I can trace a small line around those whiskers I intend to keep. Results in a nice clean transition. I will soon make one from ivory(mammoth).The name for this type of tool? I don't know. If no other name be known, may I suggest "snurdler with detailer" ;)
