In fairness to this debate on whether to use or not to use shaving cream.......Would you mind expanding on the safe guards of using shaving cream on tombstones. I'm not a chemist, any idea what stearic acid and palmitic acid is? I asked Jeves, he gave me the British point of view. We all know what happen to the Brits, ole George sent them a packing a few years back. By the way this e-address at "Savingsgraves", [email protected], someone seemed to have pull the plug on it. Good hunting, Doug Where is the evidence? (Now watch a hundred people e-mail the doctrine from savinggraves and association for gravestone studies, neither of which provide any *evidence*, but rather only provide a rationale under the PRESUMPTION that shaving cream causes harm.)
