I had a patient who could not shave with a blade because of a dermatology problem. With a spatula he applied some paste with a hydrogen sulfide odor, barium sulfide,I think, and then after half an hour when the hairs had become almost goo, used same spatula to get the gunk off. It was a barbecide with a skull and crossbones label. Here's a URL: http://www.aocd.org/skin/dermatologic_diseases/pseudofolliculitis.html

What's that? Glory tuned to ashes in your mouth? Oh, sorry, that's right, they're not yours anymore. Pity ole motormouth McGrath was too weaselly to fulfill his promise to take a boat home looking like W.G. if the Aussies didn't win 5-0.
