Clean hands?

Gold also dissolves in sodium cyanide solution. This is how most of the worlds fine gold is extracted from ore.

I use Somersets Handguard which seems to do a pretty good job as a barrier cream. You can get it from the shop bit of their website – somersets.com. They also do a good shaving oil which I used to use but I became lazy and went back to an electric razor. Now there's a debate – electric or a real razor……….

Real, it's much quicker.

Another vote for real razors…

Always fancied a cut throat shave but always feared it would end like that if I was driving, I used to go to an Italian barber who always used a cutthroat for the final tidy up, had to change to a replaceable blade version after HIV/AIDS made an appearance. Will probably stick with Gilette.

Haven't shaved for 35 years or so. A quick trim with a pair of scissors every few weeks is far simpler. Mind you, now that beards seem to be fasionable again, I might have to get the safety razor and badger brush out again.

When I mixed car paint for a motor factor in the 1970s we kept a large aluminium washing up bowl of cheap thinners handy for washing our hands in.

What it did to our hands, and what H&S would think today about a couple of gallons of cellulose thinner sitting there heaven only knows.

After a week or so the more volatile part of the thinners would have gone and it wouldn't clean as well – so we tipped in another gallon to refresh it …….. !
