17 May 08 - 03:20 PM (#2343043) Subject: RE: BS: Lectric Shave and Listerine From: Don Firth I don't use Lectric Shave. It gunks up my shaver. I do gargle with Listerine, however (original "flavor," not the citris flavored stuff). If I do, I find that I spend far less time clearing my throat when I start vocal exercises. It probably does "kill the germs that cause bad breath" okay, but until it dissipates, it leaves your breath smelling like tractor exhaust. Scope may leave you smelling prettier, but it's a lousy gargle and doesn't work anywhere near as well. I understand that before going on stage, Caruso used to gargle with a shot of good whiskey. Then he's swallow it, sing a high C, and he was ready to go. Also, you want to keep the Ben Gay away from the Preparation H. I know a guy who got the two mixed up and took off like a rocket! And loud? Wow! Don Firth |

17 May 08 - 08:13 PM (#2343218) Subject: RE: BS: Lectric Shave and Listerine From: JennieG Some years ago I wondered where my hairspray (which I seldom use which is why I hadn't noticed its disappearance) had gone.....after questioning Himself it transpired that he had thought it was underarm deodorant and had used it all up. He had wondered why his underarm hairs were a bit stiff..... Cheers JennieG |

17 May 08 - 11:04 PM (#2343340) Subject: RE: BS: Lectric Shave and Listerine From: frogprince Not exactly a "ptui" situation, but: my college roommate had been trying an experimental treatment for hemerhoids...chapstick. (Don't blame me; it wasn't my idea, and I didn't even know until later.) The kid from across the hall was bumming around in our room, picked up the chapstick,(as if that wasn't a little crass anyhow)and used it on his lips. I had no idea why my roommate was laughing so hard until he explained later. |

18 May 08 - 05:25 PM (#2343881) Subject: RE: BS: Lectric Shave and Listerine From: Stilly River Sage Sounds like an urban legend, that last one. . . Don, my dentist advised against using the mouthwash with alcohol (most of them have it). He said it dries your mouth and can cause gum damage after a while. I was using a mouthwash to soak my orthodontia retainers between cleanings, and after switching to one of the non-alcohol (and more expensive, naturally) ones my mouth felt better. SRS |

18 May 08 - 05:30 PM (#2343885) Subject: RE: BS: Lectric Shave and Listerine From: Peace OOPS. Wasn't meaning to disagree with Don. Should have said "any other gargles that don't contain alcohol". |

18 May 08 - 05:47 PM (#2343901) Subject: RE: BS: Lectric Shave and Listerine From: gnu Milk? Warm milk? And, drink a wee bit too (I prefer skim milk for drinking). The muscles need the calcium to be able to respond to flexing. It's all about the negative and positive charges in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria. If I drink a glass of skim milk twenty minutes before playin Hran, I can do much better for longer... I assume this would be the same for guitar... and, why not for singing, as well? As for a gargle, I just "think" that milk with some fat content would help grease the skids.... no... ??? Just a thought. |

18 May 08 - 09:29 PM (#2344023) Subject: RE: BS: Lectric Shave and Listerine From: Tweed I once got up bleary eyed and shaved one armpit, thinking that my Norelco was the Mennon stick deodorant. Aslo, if you confuse your Listerine with mosquito repellent you will find that it works better at keeping the bugs off than OFF or that skinsosoft stuff. Rednecks down this way are swearing by it and they know their mosquitos. Tweed |

18 May 08 - 09:59 PM (#2344033) Subject: RE: BS: Lectric Shave and Listerine From: Don Firth Milk? Bad choice. An ear, nose and throad doctor who works a lot with singers told me that milk and milk products are mucus forming, and you might wind up singing in Phlegmish! Hmm. I'll reassess the Listerine gargle thing, Maggie. It seems to work pretty well, but if it can do long-term damage. . . . Don Firth |

18 May 08 - 10:01 PM (#2344034) Subject: RE: BS: Lectric Shave and Listerine From: Don Firth Which is to say, milk and milk products are fine, but not a good idea soon before singing. Don Firth |
