I am sorry but shaving cream on older stones is not a good idea, nothing should be put on the stones that you couldn't put in your mouth. I tend to believe the experts on this one. That person does not know what the damage may be done due to using shaving cream lets say in 25 years or less after using. Many stones were made of softer rock and unless it was made by "Rock Of Ages", I am against anything being tried other than rubbing the stone the old fashion way or taking a photo and use the negative effect to get a reading. There is such a loss due to the elements alone (I know my mother's stone of only 13 years is looking pretty bad in Woodlawn cemetery in Lima.........I think due to the oil refinery) Gloria ----- Original Message ----- From: <CharlotteAnneMlr@aol.com> To: <OHALLEN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 28, 2006 5:30 PM Subject: [OHALLEN] Shaving Cream on Tombstones Being Harmful-Hoax _http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gbonner/misc/shavingcream.html_ (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gbonner/misc/shavingcream.html)
