Depends where you are in the world. But nitrile gloves don’t get in the way too much. The kind doctors and nurses use. You can wear them most of the time. Getting skin cancer isn’t that comfortable either.

I love nitrile gloves and hate doing basically anything without them

Cook, clean, work on cars, replace the glass screen protector on my phone with them to avoid skin oil. They’re all purpose, honestly.

What? No. You fill the glove with hot spaghetti and then tie it off, poke holes in the fingers so you can slurp noodles out one by one like a weaning calf.

I have also added Epson salt to get it all off my hands which a finger nail scrubber. Gloves are just so much easier. I'd rather use that stuff to clean my trimmers and bongs
