Well to prevent getting the flu, many doctors are recommending washing your hands for 30 seconds after using the bathroom. I usually just rinse them off, but I have begun a new habit using a Zest bar of soap. This also has some side benefits, 1) my hands smell great after washing, and 2) the bathroom has a nice soapy smell to it too !!
 
Over the next few months I will be trying out different brands of soap for different fragrances.  I started with the Zest brand because a local store was giving them away with a $10 purchase, and I had aquired 6 bars over the months....
 
I really like how my hands smell, almost like a light cologne.
 
I was using a liquid hand soap before but it didn't have any fragance to it, I like this much better.

Do you really want to play your guitar or keyboards with dirty stinky hands ??

There are other doctors who hold the belief that cleaning your hands with anti-bacterial soap reduces your immunity. It makes sense...

Washing away dirty germs never hurt anybody. Besides the point made here is the fragrance of the soap on the hands and the bathroom smells great !! It's definitely a good habit to get into.

My dad taught me to not pee on my hands. I sometimes wash them before I pee though.
 
My hands have no smell at all!

That's the point, after trying it, I found that I like the new soapy smell on my hands. Before my hands had no smell to them, now they smell nice, ...much better.

I don't like bars of soap. They're messy. I much prefer the pump action hand soaps. But I only get the foaming ones. I like a bit of foaming pump action in the morning. 

My favorite - a pump of gentle anti-bacterial soap, which we first bought to clean freshly made tattoos last summer. Very subtle scent. 

Bapu ... please man ... come on ...

We're talking about hand soap for the love of God!






Ok ok ... I prefer a mixture of both. Foam and a bit of gel.
