How do you avoid getting moisturizer all over your buds? If you're going to put something on your hands i vote for latex gloves. No mess no fuss.

Baby oil works wonders. Just "wash" your hands with the baby oil then just wash that off with some soap. It all comes right off.

up here we use something called joes trimming oil. works 100 times better than olive oil.i cant find it online, i think its made locally. has jojoba and kukui (sp?) and coconut oil. a few drops and you just wipe off with a towel. takes off everything, and keeps the buildup down too. some dont like it cuz i turns your scissorhash into useless goop.
i like it way better than alcohol, that shit leaves me raw after 5 days of trimming.

This is a fun little thread.
I use olive oil extracts to make topical oils for arthritis medicine. The first time I cleaned my hands with olive oil after a harvest, it got me pretty buzzed.
Your skin really absorbs oils and solvents easily so be careful using gas, paint thinners and other chemical solvents that aren't intended for cleaning your hands. Think long term brain and liver damage from solvents.
My dad always kept an old bottle of dish soap at the laundry tub where we would wash up after working on a motor. If you rub it on dry before running water, it works as well as any of the automotive hand cleaners like GoJo. I like the orange stuff with the plastic beads in it for heavy grease.

Peanut butter really works. Trimmers love it.. One called it a P bonus... She got a raise..

I was reading all the comments on olive oil and decided to look into that a bit. As I explained before I had always used grain alcohol or something like dawn detergent or good hand cleaner, but I decided to try out cheap vegetable oil since it seems folks like olive oil real well. Good olive oil is way too expensive for me to use as a hand wash.
Straight up vegetable cooking oil worked for me as good or better than anything I have used. It takes hot water and a final wash with hand soap, but it cuts it all off first go. No stink and real cheap.
And for the greenies...no VOC's.

pour iso on a paper towel and wipe off the bulk of it.
Do the same on a second paper towel, and here is the trick...
When your hands/arms are still wet from the second alcohol wipe, wash with soap and water.
Cheap ol 90% iso works fine.
SAFETY TIP: DO NOT SMOKE OR GO NEAR AN IGNITION SOURCE AS ALCOHOL IS FLAMMABLE.

And no pain in your hands from all that trimming! HAHAHA!
Drier sheets, huh? 2 more to chop today, I'll see about that but the mazolla is
sooooooooooooo easy, cheap and oils my trimming devices at the same time.
Not for one second did I think you were joking, Morph. Sorry if I sounded critical.
