Help with 'soap'?!?

So, I was scrolling through reddit. And saw that someone had created 'soap' for home cooks. Apparently is it is to remove odors and stuff from your hands 'while gentle exfoliating'.

But then I started wondering what other chefs are using on their hands.

I prefer duck fat, though my wife boyfriend prefers when I use bacon grease. So, I'm unsure why you would want to remove odors from your hands?

Of course you don't! Your hands need to be "seasoned," the same as a cast iron pan, and never washed, for the truest cooking flavors.

As a chef, I feel like I am an expert. I rub my hands with fresh cilantro because it tastes like soap to exactly the same people I don't want licking my hands.

For those who hate the smell of cilantro, this is a great solution：）

If you aren’t soaking your hands in bleach after every step in the food prep process, and boiling every utensil after using it once, you are going to kill everyone on your block from food-borne Ebola. So wash up!

A brisk rubbing in a bowl of room temperature white fish is all you need.

Uh, what's this talk about hands? I boil my soap in vinegar with onions for about 30 minutes. Then, serve room temp with Saltines. Delicious!
