Obenaufs is all I use now as well. I use it on other leather goods as well (belts, cartridge carriers, gloves)

My cape buff Beans recently received some Obenhaufs. It turn them dark?? I’ve only used obenaufs on work boots that i didn’t care about looks. My beans i use either lexol or bick4 Maybe a little darker but they were pretty scuffed and faded so that's probably why. Look new again now.

Obenaufs here. I prefer the liquid oil over the bees wax stuff

My tin of Danner boot dressing is almost gone. What do you guys use/recommend for keeping your leather supple and long lasting? I really like Huberd's Shoe Grease ( Since 1921) .... I use it on boots, shoes, belts, saddles and even my leather fedora. I've not found anything better. It needs-to-be turned upside down and allowed to sit a little while before you open it and stir it and apply it but it works really well, it's outstanding.
What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become. In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.

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…”

Obenaufs is my first choice, Montana Pitch Blend is my second choice (and probably just as good.)

I have used Heberds with a heat gun and it's AMAZING how long a soak will last, and how long the leather stays happy.
Up hills slow, Down hills fast Tonnage first and Safety last.

I have used the same batch I made in 1963, 100% liquid silicone mixed with bear grease. Make sure boots are warm, apply mixture, set back in sun........do not set on ground if you have a puppy!
