I've decided to infiltrate this part of RAT to set up a thread devoted to all things girly (to the modern beholder anyhow)in regards to cosmetics, perfumes, their medicinal and toxicological properties mainly and forms of toiletry- although 'girly' this thread would have have significance to the menfolk too- After all, even the great Caesar himself liked a bit of preening and polishing and this didn't stop his military prowess. Others like Elag...Helagobb...Eligabalalal....erm. Varius liked it a bit too much -apparently
I am currently undertaking a series of experiments regarding these, and am currently working on depilatory methods and will be posting updates as I go along.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
At the moment I am mostly working on rhusma turcorumand it's effectiveness, hazards and comparing/ contrasting with modern sulphur based depilatory creams and their mechanisms.
Firstly though,a non girly question- has anyone ever used the orpiment/ calcium hydroxide method for hair removal from hides/ pigskin ??
Thanks!!! :grin:
