I used to do that, until I learned that the shaving cream is not good for the stones.

James and Barbara, They say you should do absuelutly nothing to old tombstone because even rubbing a pincel over paper will leave some chems on it or could cause it some other damage. One can catch the Sun (light) casting a shadow over it and some time that will help or maybe use a flash light standing between the direction of the Sun to cast a shadow oner it. Hope this helps.
