Is there a dry way to do that, like say one that does not attract dirt, grime, and is not completely disgusting?
I really hate grease.
If you want to get all DIY on it.
Grease recipe #1: modern kitchen style
Ingredients: 1 bar of plain bath soap, 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1. Grate soap with a cheese grater over wax paper.
2. Heat 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
3. Slowly add soap shavings while stirring.
4. Add remainder of oil and/or soap until a you reach a creamy consistency.
Grease recipe #2: ye olde style
Ingredients: bear fat, white wood ash
1. Sift ash into cold water. Let sit overnight, then strain through a cheesecloth, saving the potash water.
2. Render bear fat in a kettle over medium heat.
3. Boil a quantity of the potash water and rendered bear fat while stirring constantly.
4. The mixture will react. Continue adding potash and rendered fat until you have a suitable quantity of soap. Ensure there is no excess lye by tasting the soap. If it tastes sharply of the potash water, add more fat and stir some more.
5. Remove from heat and ensure saponification has halted. Pour into molds or suitable containers before it solidifies.
6. Reheat a portion of rendered bear fat and add grated soap, as in recipe #1.
