I simply use a decent "squirt". Approximately the size of a blue-raspberry.
The mythical "almond-sized" amount of cream?

Depends.
You need a lot more Derby Lemon cream than you do Trumper's Eucris.
Learn your cream, know what works.

Can honestly say I haven't seen that particular homage to Italian chefs in 40 years ... which now becomes an earworm.

You guys crack me up.
I never knew how beautiful Almond Trees were!

Ive found that Arko cream requires Twice as much as any other cream, I don't think its as dense.
While at the same time, I've found that the higher-end English creams such as Simpson's or St. James of London actually do work with just an almond-sized dollop.™ No snurdle required.
What I still have difficulty with is estimating a snurdle-sized dollop when spooning out a harder cream such as some of the TOBS flavors.
Edit: I can't believe that the spell checker doesn't recognize "snurdle." Seems common enough.
What about a wee-bit?
Not too many words with three "Ls" in a row...
Skulllike and skillless come to mind, and light up the spell checker.
I prefer a glob, about the size of a walnut. With the shell.
For creams in tubs, dipping your brush should get the perfect amount.
For all other types, use more product and get better lather. It doesn't cost much and many of us have way to many creams anyway and need to use them up before they dry out. Walnut size works well or 2-3 almonds with no shell. If the lather is too thin, use more cream and less water.
It's the same with soap. Load until you think you have more than enough, then keep loading like you hate it and have nothing better to do with your life. The lather will be much better.

Upon further reflection, I believe those words should be hyphenated.
Yeah, I kinda made that up in the heat of the moment. Llama and Lloyd are closest that of which I can think.
Watermelons or walnuts. One of those must be the right size for the right amount of cream if you don't use a green, Chinese shelled almonds worth as your snurdle.
See how much more fun units of measurements are when you don't have the metric system to make sense of it all?
Just a dab will do ya..... i use about a pea size of tobs and get more than enough lather for 4 passes
