Hair conditioner, Plax mouthwash, shaving foam,

These are interesting in themselves. I'd call the first thing simply
"conditioner". The second thing I wouldn't call mouthwash, which I
see as a different product; I suppose I'd call it a "fluoride rinse".

I don't think Plax has fluoride, it's actually a pre-brush treatment.
Act is a fluoride rinse and mouthwash. That happens to be what I use.


I am in a position to assure the Hon. Gentleman that the labels on Euro
Plax, both Original and Cool Mint (Hi, Laura!), claim that they contain
Sodium Fluoride 0.025%.


I assume that you are drawing my attention to the fact that you have two brands of mouthwash in your bathroom?

All you people with all this stuff must have much bigger bathrooms than we do.
