Mary,

For those of us who are uninformed, please explain your concern regarding
the shaving cream.  I've seen headstones where the engraving is very poor.
I've always wondered what could be used to enhance these headstones so we
could get information from them.  Now is my opportunity to find out.

Thank you,

Chris.



Interesting article but I literally cringed when the "local history
enthusiast" (who happened to be the president of the cemetery board) used
shaving cream on the stone to read the engraving.  AARRGGHH!!!
