The LP is what I use on mine
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

It's what Russell Mocassin uses on their boots. That's enough for me.
Sent Russell a 20 year old pair of boots to restore last winter. Communication wasn't great but they came back oozing obenaufs and looked like new in time for turkey season. I bought some of the grease and treated them again after turkey season. Will hit them again this summer when I have time (they hadn't been treated in years and at first Russell told me they weren't salvageable)

Works good on leather and is also a good hand cream.
You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.

LP user here, too. Amazing how well the leather fends off cuts and scuffs after being treated. Like a boxer greasing up his eyebrows to fend off cuts. The waterproofing aspect requires frequent re-application, but the durability gained with Obenaufs is impressive.

Sounds like you guys all use the LP/Heavy duty. Anyone use the regular oil? Difference between the two?

I've used them both, the leather oil is easier to put on and penetrates better..

I have the same question regarding the oil or the wax. Specifically, on new leather.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Beeswax. Snake oil ain't needed.

It is the best (LP) thing that I've found. Works well in snow/wet environment.

I've used a variety of products over the years, but now only use the Obenauf grease and prefer it to anything else I've tried. The Alaska members here likely spend more time in the wet than most and really praise the pure beeswax treatment. I haven't gone that route, but would consider it...

Yes it is. The point being, you don't need anything else BUT beeswax. If people want to pay more money for 'fancy' beeswax, ok.

Also things that are petroleum based have a chance of making the rubber rand around the bottom of your meindl's come unglued.

If you want to dick around with a product that compromises the beeswax by adding solvents to make it easier to apply have at it. In serious conditions it is not even close to as good as beeswax.
Once your boot is contaminated with the beeswax solvents used there you cannot go back to plain beeswax and get the same results...
