Does anyone have suggestions for a cheap solution - pardon pun?

This wire is some sort of vinyl or rubber compound outer insulation and I do
not wish to chance petroleum distillates or some such to lubricate it. *Yes,
they do make a wire soap for pulling through a conduit but, I don't have
any, live in the country and would like to find an alternative.

Liquid hand soap is fairly mild and probably safe. . In a pinch, I
have used water. Not great, but better than nothing.
