    Sta-Lube hand cleaner works pretty good, too.

    Fast Orange is my handwash of choice.

    In a pinch, Dawn dish-soap does a good job of cutting the grease and oils. It just doesn't have the grittiness of the industrial soaps.

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

    This is the only dish-soap I use for my dishes. I also it it to clean my razors when I'm done grinding or buffing. Takes all that crud off.

    Now the worst part with all that hand washing is my wife always giving me a hard time because I have a tendency to always grab the nearest kitchen towel. Basically destroying them with all the smutch it leaves behind. She's not happy and always points out I should use my own hand towels and leave the kitchen towels untouched.

    At least you have not been banished to the Utility sink in the Laundry room, She moved all my stuff to that sink and even hung up a Dark colored towel for me to use

    Conversation went like this..

    Standing in the Kitchen, me: "Honey were is my Lava, and Hand cleaner"

    Standing behind me arms crossed, her: "Back in the Laundry room Dear, right next to YOUR sink"

    ...and this, gentle readers, is how you score a sink to call your own.

    I cut concrete for a living and we work with hydraulics some times. Combined with the rest of the dirt and concrete slurry ( not to mention mess from cow farms we work on a lot ) Even with gloves my hands and arms get pretty nasty. I use GoJo Cherry cleaner.
    It works great and I like the smell more than citrus. Especially at lunch time. PB&J with Citrus sent on your hands Uhh.

    I usually use this: Kitchen Soap | Wolsey Soap Shop

    For really tough jobs I'll grab one of the assorted hand cleaners I've accumulated over the years, but most of the time the Kitchen Soap does the trick. Full disclosure: the soap is made and sold by a friend, but it is very good.

    Sadly she doesn't make any shaving soaps yet, but I'm working on that.

    Tossable gloves....
    They are inexpensive and almost everywhere now.
    Most mechanics near here wear the blue ones.... Ask
    what they use when you see them. You want ones
    that do not melt with a little oil or grease.
