At home I keep a bar of Cra-Z Soap next to my wash basin but I can't really take it with me when I am working away from home and that is where True Grit comes in handy - not only does it get my hands squeaky clean, but it smells REALLY good (not at all like most pumice soaps that have that greasy garage smell), doesn't dry out my skin and it's PORTABLE! Drop it in my work bucket and cleanliness goes where I go!
