I've seen plenty of threads on which hand cleaner to use but can anyone recommend a good brush? The typical nail brush from Walmart isn't the best and doesn't seem to last long.

I'm partial to the ones they sell at Sears:

I get this one from Menard's. It has a small magnet which is kind of handy. They seem to last a really long time. https://www.menards.com/main/tools-...7-c-9163.htm?tid=-8974829303697135123&ipos=14
I've been using this one for 2 years now...I really need a new one now that I think about it

I have the same one, atleast it looks just like that. I bought it from either O'Reilly's or Autozone by their register. I have two and they are both a few years old. One in the garage bathroom and the other sits in the shower in the house. Upside down (bristles up) it make a great place to sit the bar of soap, won't slide off the fiberglass shower shelf.

100 pack disposable gloves.
I have been using these for years also. Very stiff and durable.
These are my go to:

Work well as a soft scrub brush on painted / easily scratched items as well.

I've had a Swissco for as long as I can remember still going strong...

My go-to as well!
I have been buying these scrub brushes for almost 20 years now. I like to buy them in packs of 6 and I keep one at every sink I have.
They are soft enough to use on painted surfaces like you said, as well as your face (if your careful around your eyes), and just stiff enough to get all the crud out of the little grooves that make up your finger prints!
They are the same design/make as what surgeons use in hospitals.

Well, since we're all chiming in with our favorites I'll add this one.

I've had mine for at least 20+ years and it works great. It's substantial. If you threw it at someone they would stay hit, not like the very lightweight ones shown above. Mine is so substantial it survived my then Labrador puppy ("Sooner" in my avatar) using it as a chew toy - even he couldn't hurt it much.

I steal one from my daughters. They always have the best body products and I’m pretty sure I paid for them anyway

If you hand-wash your dishes, your hands come out pretty clean in my experience.

I got some like this at gun show many years ago. There was a lady that showed up with all kinds of weird surgical stuff, and I picked up a bunch of them. The recessed cavity was supposed to hold a soapy sponge, but they didn't come with any sponges.
They work great, but this is my last one.
I've never been able to find any for sale anywhere.
Until now.
They look like the same design, just a different color. I'm going to order some just in case they are. Even if they are a bit different, the fine little nylon brissles are the key to getting everything clean.
I use a mixtrure of Dishwashing soap and Boraxo, lather it in, rinse it off, and the grime is gone.
.
Here is a selection of surgical scrub brushes from Amazon:

I once had a neighbor that would bring home garbage bas full of the surgical scrub brushes.
"Only used once"
They worked great.
After moving, I learned that working in cheap hand creme after the first wash, followed by a second wash with a sponge works just fine.
You can see the creme turning grey as it mixes with the grease.
And it washes off easily

I have a friend that is an auto mechanic and he does something similar. He puts some lotion on his hands first, before he starts to work, and then at the end of the day like you said.
He says that doing it before he starts working helps keep some of the grease/dirt from sticking to his hands, and it makes it easier to wipe off some of the grime before he washes his hands.
I don't know if this is actually true or not, but he says it helps. He says that jobs that entail you working with your hands all day, and having to wash them a lot, will make your skin dry, and the drier your skin is, the more **** will stick to your skin.
