I can't remember if I posted this here already, but I did a write-up of two hand lotions for my personal blog a couple of weeks back.
I dont like my hands to be rough, dry, and peeling. I also dont like to have my hands highly perfumed. Thats where these two fellows come in! Billy Jealousy Golden Gloves Therapeutic Hand Cream and Jack Black Industrial Strength Hand Healer. Both of these lotions are specifically marketed to men who are interested in taking care of themselves, and are part of larger product lines.
Jack Black is thicker and can leave your hands feeling like theres definitely something on them if you put too much on. That being said, it is not greasy, even if its on a little thick. Its almost a little bit waxy. It leaves my hands feeling conditioned and moisturized for several hours after application. Interestingly, if I wash my hands shortly after application, they feel very slippery, possibly due to the macadamia nut and sunflower oils.
Billy Jealousy is somewhat thinner in texture, almost runny. It absorbs very quickly and doesnt leave much sensation once it absorbs. It is definitely not greasy or waxy. On the other hand (see what I did there?) it does not feel as if it does much in the way of protection. Sure, it moisturizes well, which is good, but I like a little bit of protection, as well.

Perceptions
This is where things get interesting. For starters, both of these have a light and rather pleasant generic tropical/slightly fruity aroma, which lingers for a while, but doesnt explode off of my hands. This is a good thing.Jack Black is thicker and can leave your hands feeling like theres definitely something on them if you put too much on.
