When I started this job, we're "required" to wear gloves the entire time while we're working. Hands sweat like crazy doing the shit we do while wearing latex gloves and it softened my hands like crazy. One day the wife says "your hands are really soft". I pretty much stopped wearing them except for the really oily/greasy jobs.

Yeah, a good friend of mine is an auto mechanic. Not his favorite thing to wear gloves, but he likes it better than having his hands smell like grease all the time when he isn't in the shop.

I never smell like anything from work after I shower when I get home. Except my boots that usually end up with some grease stuck to them.

My go to is just bar soap and a nail brush. It seems to work better than all of the hand cleaners I've tried.
I still have a bar of lava soap in the bathroom by the garage and I carry a jug of gojo in my work truck but they are more for a quick cleanup before eating or something. "Real" clean hands (up to at least the elbows most days) comes from the nail brush in the shower after work. |

I can smell the soap on me, so I know I don't stink. Lava does exfoliate. Shits got some hardcore pumice in it. I wound up with grease smeared in my armpit today and it took it off like a champ. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: For real. One of my friends wanted one so he could have it before he finished the Police Academy so he could win some sort of competition they had which he thought would help him get hired. So we drove to a gun store since his wife had their car. The whole time he's going on and on about how it has have these crazy accuracy specs so the navy seals can use it, how much better it is than any other gun, ever. He's going to carry it for SWAT, and it's the only gun he'll ever need. He saw the price, apparently he hadn't researched that part. Settled on the USP 45 instead. Spent a bunch of money on a cool holster, mag pouches, and accessories. He was also fucking broke at this point as he wasn't working while in the academy and his wife was looking for a job. I had in fact offered to let him borrow my P226 (what SEALs were actually carrying) for a bit but he drank that HK coolaid. My lowly Sig was not good enough. Gets hired a few weeks after graduation. They give him a choice of a Glock 22 or 23 to carry. No exceptions. He also tried to concealed carry the USP for a bit. He's all pissed because he spent so much on the USP and gear. So I made him an offer just above what a gun shop would offer. He didn't like it.

Yeah, some guys spend alot of money on guns & gear either right when they get hired or before they get hired on someplace and then find out they cant use it or carry it. One Dept I worked for had transitioned over from S&W 19's to S&W 4006's with a decocker/safety and a magazine disconnect. We had to carry it on safe, in a level 3 holster, (Safari Land 070 if you guys know what those are like). We could only carry a weapon that had a slide mounted decocker/safety. That left us with either the 4006 off duty, or a Walther PP. I didnt own a Walther, so I carried the 4006 off duty. Never did like that gun. |

They will probably follow up once they have more made in the next week or so. I wouldn’t sweat it too much. They are a small operation. Good hearts. Excellent customer service. They just need time to catch up. If you don’t hear anything after a week, then follow up. If they said they will get you one, they will make it right. |
