Toothpick - good solid one - one that does not break off - for instance - in your teeth...

Wouldn't it be wise to soak any older pair of Cordovans in boot oil for a week, before working on them? I would think it could only help to soften the grime, so it would wipe off easier? Could it hurt well conditioned Cords?

If so, is there a brand name for the type of oil to be used?
