Shaving Cream: Genealogist’s Friend or Cemetery Conservator’s Foe?

On April 9, 2009 By Jason Church

Biological growth flourishes on the remains of shaving cream used to read the epitaph.

We do not advocate the use of shaving cream for investigating inscriptions on stone. The shaving cream has natural emollients for softening the skin. These emollients have oils and moisture holding agents that can have detrimental effects on the stone.
