Question condition of hands

Sign in to disble this ad
is it a good idea to keep the skin on your hands in good condition or let them be dry and cracked. i ask this because i read a thing about jaco that said when he was young he told his mother he could not wash the dishes because it would make his hands soft and his calluses go away. now i know he was just saying this to get out of doing the dishes, but is there any truth to it. i make sure my hands are clean and dry before i play, but before i go to sleep i use burts bees hand salve to keep my hands in good shape because i rock climb and my hands are pretty rough, do you think this is good or bad? any thoughts are appreciated

i really don't think having calluses is a big advantage. Keep your hands healthy.
