To answer the question in the wiki, I do, but they're scissors when I'm not 
scraping my skin with them. I don't know where one would get a modern strigil 
that's made for the purpose.

I assumed that someone djisku "pumice". The other possibility is "pomace", 
which is residue from pressing olives, which wouldn't be in the bathroom 
(though I do know people who use olive oil on their hair).

Sounds fine to me. It's a paste, and it's used on teeth. The other possible 
meaning of the lujvo is a paste made from teeth, but I don't know of such a 
thing. There are pastes used to hold false teeth, but I'd call 
that "densnipa" or something like that.

"towel" is glossed as "krebu'u" which means "haircloth". I'd understand that 
to mean "cloth made of hair".
