They're so dry that they're bleeding at not just the knuckles but at the fingertips and now the sides too, but lotion is so disgusting I hate using it. Liquid band-aid burns so good. Now my hands feel like they're half made of plastic.

you don't have to necessarily even use lotion. olive oil is a pretty good moisturizer. but you need some kind of moisturizing substance on your skin before your hands fall off. i don't think that can actually happen, but still.

i've never had an issue with lotion softening my callouses or anything, but i don't really apply it that much. although i do wait like an hour or so after taking a bath to play bass, so i'm sure the same waiting period for applying lotion might help out. just do it before you go to sleep!

i love it when someone responds to your ad, arranges the whole thing including picking up the gear... and later when he doesn't show up, you mail him and he's like "oh, i forgot to write down your phone number... i bought something else"...

FIRST OF ALL I WAS MAILING YOU BEFORE YOU STUPID WORTHLESS MOTHERFUCKER... I'D TAKE A PROPER LIE OVER A STUPID ONE ANY DAY

SECOND OF ALL - WHEN YOU ARRANGE BUYING SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE, COULD YOU PLEASE CONSIDER IT AS A DONE DEAL AND STOP FUCKING SHOPPING FOR SOMETHING ELSE?!!!

MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

I have this problem a lot. Midwest winters + dry indoor air + germophobia handwashing = dry hands.

I hate the lotion that softens the calluses on my fretting hand. Maybe for other people (that don't play guitar) that'd be ideal, but it sure hurts when those calluses go soft and I'm pressing down against what feels like the pain nerves under the skin.

So I do this complicated hand dance where I only get lotion on the backs of my hands and knuckles. The bonus of this maneuver is that your guitar neck doesn't get all gross. Reading this all back makes me sound like a freak.

If you make sure you dry your hands really well after washing you can prevent it pretty well. udder cream is awesome for really chapped skin as are those intensive repair creams leave them on over night if it's real bad with clean socks on your hands. There is something else i used to use as some of those creams burn if your hands are sore but i have no idea as ive been fairly lucky lately maybe it was glycerin....

Mathias, I think I do something similar, but it makes me look like a retarded seal.

maz, I will never put something called "udder cream" on my hands. That is a shitty and disgusting name for something and I will not support it.
