Cella

I found a Tupperware spatula in the kitchen that my missus had form when she used to bake regulary. It worked well with the little pot of Cella and I think it would be good to control the amount of cream and especially soft soaps I use, this means I get the same amount each time (or close to it). I am not being mean about how much product I use, it is just easier to make the lather more consistent; I find with some stiffer brushes I pick up more soap from the tub than with others so creams and soft sops are more of a hit and miss than hard soaps for me.

The only issue I had was when I tried to spread it in the bottom of the DB scuttle I then found the spatula blade a little wide to spread down at the bottom where I wanted it and the blade was a little inflexible but it was a minor pain. I concluded a sort of knife shaped one (or more of a curve at least, with a reasonably flexible blade would be ideal for the job.

Thanks very much simmo and HM, both look good. I will have a look about at the weekend and am sure I sill find one in a pound shop, nothing will move in the post now anyway it is the weekend.

Cheers.
 
Creams, soaps, razors. Yes. These are understandable.

Shaving stands - no problem.

Spatulas! I'm having trouble getting excited over them.




Give it a week and I'll be asking for advice on which one to get :mrgreen:
 
Sonny have you been to ladle-and-spatula.com

Lots of chat, advice, reviews etc of kitchen utensils (non-powered, hand-held only).

It's a good resource forum but the mods are a bit heavy - I was looking for a silicon palette knife and got very short shrift indeed BUT the photos of my small collection of vintage wooden Dutch serving spoons was, er, lapped up appreciatively. Mind you, some of them have got great patina.

Well worth a look. ;)

Meh! ladle-and-spatula.com mods gave me a life ban because I asked about international suppliers rather than all the Norf Amuriken ones (they call everything else '3rd world crap' unless it's 5x more expensive than their domestic stuff). I joined The Utensil Drawer forums and those folks are really down to earth, civilised and helpful - but they still know their fish slices from their slotted spoons!

Thanks for the link.

Might give them a go - I'm looking for a birth year measuring spoon set (preferably the nesting sort).

Cheers
 
hmm.... just waiting for the thread about rulers, for users of Cream from tubes, maybe someone should just design a scuttle / bowl with measurements on them.

oh wait, here we go


it's got a handle too ;)

:mrgreen: If Mama Bears made a spatula, it would be hard to ignore!

I'm always amazed at the number and variation of forums out there.

Anyway, time for a night shave as I skipped this morning :shock:
Last few shaves have not been great with the sledgehammer (39c) and a feather. I blame Fabio.

You're just obsessed with jugs :)

Cella is great stuff.

It has a load of what I like to call "afterslip", I believe someone else coined that term.

Basically, if you add a bit of water to your face after a pass, there is still a very slippery film which is great for touch ups/blade buffing. Really slick stuff. Mama Bears is similar. I don't get this "afterslip" with many other soaps.

P160 is much stronger and sweeter smelling, and I didn't find it as slick.
