Cleaning with oil and strigil
#2
It works perfectly. Of course, also in Roman times, it seems to be a pre-cleaning stage before entering the bath. So after you've cleaner your skin you can go and relax in the bath-house.

As for effectivity. It removes mud pretty good. Of course a thin film of oil (and thereby oily smell) will stay. I like to show the people the effectivines on demonstrations. It feels nice to your skin and cleans good.
