Oh the thought of walking around with soap scrapings under my nails is cringy I just give them a good scrub with a nail brush after I get home

I’m a gardener who keeps nails short. Even so could not bring myself to scrape them on a bar of soap even if it was quite soft

I cannot remember if I’ve posted this before so here goes…….my finger nails always get really grubby when I’m gardening, even wearing gloves! Now, I keep a bar of soap in the shed/greenhouse and just before I start the gardening I scratch the soap to get deposits down my nails. When I come to wash my hands afterward I have really clean finger nails!
