I recommend mother of pearl caviar spoons if you wanna be fancy.
I had the same idea. I pocketed a freeby at an event just this reason! The non-reactive shell doesn’t interfere with the scent of the soap. Looks nice too.I recommend mother of pearl caviar spoons if you wanna be fancy.
Plus 1 on this spoon. I've 4 of these, scored my first 1 or 2 from a friend who left me some of her odds and ends silver stuff when cleaning up her home for her.I use a "Rolex" souvenir spoon that I found at an antique store for a couple bucks, similar to this one: (Pic stolen from image search)

Lots of great ideas, and I haven't even read all posts yet. I've had success using a pipe packing tool.

The other two I scored off ebay with some patient looking.
For instance (not necessarily one I'd get, just a show and tell.):

This spoon is not just a beautiful piece of flatware, but also a piece of history, and a must-have for collectors. The silver color, elegant design, and intricate details make it a delightful piece to display or use as a souvenir.www.ebay.com
If memory serves me correctly, the B100 12 marking on the back of the spoon indicates Sterling plated. You'll have to do a bit of research to confirm. I can tell you the ones I have will tarnish if not rinsed and dried.
Patience in looking can find you with one in really excellent condition. Don't use anything terribly abrasive in cleaning one to something of a polish. I used the cheapo Crest toothpaste as it has no abrasives and then used a handful of baking soda to scrub it, with a final rinse and rub with a dry all cotton wash cloth.
Of course you could also score a demitasse spoon as an alternative:

Happy spooning/scooping!!!
I remember seeing those in the 70’s.
I use a small expresso spoon for shaving creams. Works really well.I’ve searched for the perfect spoon to scoop out an almond sized snurdle from a tub of cream/Croat, and until now had given up. I purchased a set of makeup spoons from Amazon, but they are too small.
Today I saw a video on Geofatboy’s YouTube channel where he was gifted a mustard spoon. It was just the right size. That has caused me to resume my search. Amazon is not much help because they don’t give dimensions of the bowl. The closest I’ve found is this:
I can’t go to an antique shop or thrift store because I’m in one of the COVID19 high risk groups.
What to you ladies and gents use and where did you get it?
Mine isn't marked, so I'm not sure what material it's made from. It says "Bucherer" along the front rather than "Lucerne".
All I do is rinse and dry with my towel and it looks brand new.
