I've been doing tree work for 17 years and my hands have always stayed nice and soft, I get some callouses, but nothing too rough. I have never used any creams.

Just got in and read this thread, all i can say is Avon "Skin So Soft". 2 types, one is called soft and fresh, this is used by special forces guys and is brill, it even keeps ticks and bugs off you, spray it on but dont rub it in. trust me it really works. the other is winter soft. both are great. if you dont want to get the Avon range then get some Emu Oil, you can get this from Boots, just a small blob of it goes a long way. it is also good for bruises.

This does seem like a proper gay thread but I have had a lot of lasses say my hands are really rough! But then again they said they like rough hands if your problem is her in doors? I bet she wouldn't want you havin soft soft soft bummer hands mate

Same as Skyhuck here. A couple of calluses but otherwise my hands are soft as. The missus is actually jealous as her hands are quite dry and rough.

I think a lot of the hand care issues are due to 2 things, the modern "low fat" diet, less natural oils in the system, and modern soaps removing the naturally occurring oils the body produces. However, I never moisturise, or apply hand crreams, no cracks splits or sore hands here. Just man up.

You could be onto something there Andy, I love butter and never wash my hands!!!

I have farming rellies who swear by tubs of Boots own WSP - White Soft Paraffiin. Costs £5-6 for a tub weighing ?1lb or so. They've tried all sorts down the years and stuck with this.

I've found the Norwegian Fisherman's stuff to be about as much use as an ashtray in a hang glider.
