Re: Greasy hands? Use TOOTHPASTE

Yeah, I remember that "agent orange" stuff in England, about 20 years ago. I can't remember the real name, but I do remember that it was the first stuff that didn't smell like diesel, & take the top layer of skin off your hands. The generic name in England is "swarfega". You can get either the smooth stuff, which is also useful for getting the grease off your clothes, or the stuff with "grit" in, that is more abrasive on your hands.
