Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?

I never ever used to, and I kind of wondered whether I should, and then I read a blurbs by tube dealers that said it wasn't required so I felt vindicated . . . but then I bought a preamp from Cary and it came with a single glove that they recommended for handling tubes so I started to wonder again . . . but the glove is way too small so now I just keep some "lens wipes" that I use for cleaning my glasses and after I've finished handling the tubes if I think about it I wipe them down.

I use a folded paper towel which is much easier find and quicker than searching for them and putting gloves on and off. 

Mostly because the tubes are too hot to the touch.

I use nitrile gloves. They're thin so dexterity is maintained, they offer excellent grip which reduces the likelihood of being dropped. As an added benefit, no body oil gets on the tubes, so they stay clean longer.

I use vintage tubes almost exclusively, and they almost always need to be cleaned gently with a soft, lightly moistened towel.

When I'm ready to insert the tube into the socket, on go the nitrile gloves!!! 

Some folks have more grease than others. I always wear a glove, nitrile or cotton.

Excess grease was gold back when film photography was alive and well. Got a scratch on a prized negative? Just swipe a finger across your nose, and rub that nose grease into the scratch. Grease fills the void perfectly, and closely matches the refractive index of acetate - hence the white scratch lines disappear from your enlargement prints, like magic :) Of course if the scratch went through the emulsion side (showing as black lines in enlargements) you’re still screwed. 

Nitrile gloves should be good for handling tubes. Nice grip. But I am totally against use of cotton gloves!
