    Default Gloves for razor work?

    Any suggestions for gloves that protect hands from polishes and other chemicals while retaining finger agility? Preferably non-disposable?

    I just use blue latex gloves while cleaning and polishing.

    I use lots of latex gloves, but they're insubstantial and break down while polishing, plus they're really hot to wear for more than 20 minutes or so. And I hate throwing so many of them away.

    I use the blue nitrile gloves, but you have to get the size that fits your hands. If they are too small your hands will sweat profusely. If they are too large they can bunch up and get snagged by everything (power tools, work bench, razor tang). They have a pretty good tactile response, but they don't transmit temperature as well as bare hands so you have to adjust to that.

    I never heard of that. Are you on Tapatalk on a phone or are you on a computer?

    Search for gloves in the box at upper right, then scroll down on answers to the threads from the past.

    I'm on a computer. I searched for "gloves" before I posted the thread and saw nothing about gloves in ten pages of results.
