good for the hands

I've used vaseline and been happy with the results. The oil products just soak into the skin nicely.

Get a pet sheep and "pet" it every day. Nothing like fresh lanolin to keep 'em from cracking. Other than that, Kestral Salve, Bag Balm, and Working Hands Cream all seem to work.

It has worked very well suprising me. I have put it on very dry and pealing skin and in 24 hours my skin clear with no sign of dry skin. I am sold on it and better yet it is cheap.

As much as I hate the wally world takeover of American merchandising, their Equate brand products are quite good. Usually a ingredient comparison is identical to the name brand, and you can always buy the Equate brand in the regular store cheaper than the name brands at their Sam's Club.

We have a family friend who is a sheep shearer and he says that by the end of the shearing season he has *no* callouses on his hands anymore and has to start building them up again for the regular farm work.

I have a 1 lb jar of pure lanolin that i've had for 10 years. You just have to stay out of the local saloons "'cause this is cow country and y'all don't want to smell like a sheep man"...

This is a family forum. The discussion needs realigned to blacksmithing.

My wife makes soaps and such things as a hobby. She made me some balm from petroleum jelly, beeswax and lemon oil. That stuff works great!
