YouMa Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Was having my usual male grooming routine and usually mix an oil and mosurizer then apply liberally after bath. Recently started using Palmers cocoa oil just as general moisturiser on my hands. Tried to play after fingers hadn't dried out yet and I have to admit it did help me move around on the fretboard alot and slides were effortless. Anybody tried it?

Gasman Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I say chaps, all this finger-greasing should be unnecessary - surely natural lubrication is best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Tone Finger-ease. There's not many places stock it this side of the pond, but it's great for a little digital lubrication. I've used it for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
