Really fresh garlic (before it has been dried, has a elastic stutdy skin in the same shape as the papery one in the picture. You simply cut of the the top and tear it apart, similar to peeling a banana.
Bonus tip for peeling dried garlic: cut of the top and bottom, place your knife flat on it (use a big one or) am smash it with your fist. Then peel the skin of the split garlic parts. If you prefere small knives or or feel uncomfortable use a plate or cutting board instead.
I don't think I've ever seen really fresh garlic! I've never actually got around to growing it myself.
Your strategy for peeling dried garlic is basically what I do. Just pressing on the knife enough to squish the garlic tends to be enough to get the skin off. I don't tend to have any trouble with peeling it.
It's kinda hard to come buy tbh, but probably depends on the region you're living in and the shops available to you.
Exactly what I meant, kinda hard to describe it properly. As you said it makes the peeling really easy.
