Cornhuskers Lotion: soaks in nicely although feels a bit viscous, almost slimy, at first but dries in a few minutes to soft, NON greasy. No color, no fragrance, no greasiness. Cheap, too, from grocery store lotion aisles or feed stores.
Bag Balm is wonderful but cannot be "used" close to the time when you want to handle anything like fabric.
