I have tried just about everything - from WD40, all the oils, Dr. J, Berkeley - and for me, simple anise produced the best. I definitely agree with Rod n Reel - better results from cleaner (read less odor) hands - unless of course you're my wife - and she seems to naturally attract 'em. I found something call Non Scents at K-Mart about three years ago. Bought them out and haven't seen it since.
