    If you did what I do for a living, you’d shave up to your elbow! Without a second thought. I’m lucky for not having that much body hair.

    Apply moisturizer - that skin is sensible - and be prepared for ingrown hairs. And hitching.

        I work with substances nobody should really mess with and that implies wearing gloves for extended periods of time.

        Pulling hairs out is a daily event and washing contaminants away when the gloves fail with that much hair - or any amount whatsoever - makes things harder.

            I would sooner make gunpowder cotton or nitroglycerin instead.

        My curiosity is piqued too! I’m mostly commenting so that I can check back later, but…

        • Are they wearing chain mail gloves (for sharks or cutting meat) that the hair would catch?

        • Going forearm deep in food, to stir or, I don’t know…?

        • Reaching into hot ovens or crucibles that the hair would singe?

        • Going forearm deep to help birth sheep or cows?

        • Or are they a wristwatch/hand model?
