same for me with the mirror shine. didn't know about the drying out issue, though.
I use polish in all my shoes and never get a mirror shine and I don't have one pair of dried shoes
yeah i think it's fine I was just saying that the degree to which soldiers shine their boots - mirror shine all over which means layers upon layers, every single day - might be a factor in why they seem to dry out and crack.
Noone cares because they're not paying for them anyway.
Oh Lordy are you for real Gdot? That practice stopped a couple of decades ago (at least!).
You really shouldn't keep quoting stuff you read on the net as some kind of acquired knowledge, highlights your bitsy knowledge no end.
Don't get me wrong I applaud your enthusiasm & helpful disposition on all the threads, but the misinformation & misinterpretations are regrettably frequent.
If you wish to discuss the frequency of misinformation that I've put forth then I'll thank you to cite examples. Your random character summaries highlights your bitsy knowledge of me and my knowledge no end. (To use your own words, not mine.)
In any case - discussion is a part of learning.
I'll thank you to address me politely, or not at all. I'll do the same to you.
I have a source in a local butchers market that makes pure neatsfoot as a by product - I buy now and again for my chromexcel.
I'm sure this is not the only source, but I would agree that production of pure neatsfoot has no doubt decreased, whilst production of neatsfoot compound (i.e. neatsfoot and mineral oils) has increased.
Well I'm not sure I have the time or the inclination to produce what will resemble a compendium of your mistakes, misunderstandings & misinformation.
As per my previous post I do believe you have always posted in good faith, but that unfortunately you don't know as much as you think.
Discussion is absolutely part of learning and that's exactly what this is - hope you learn something.
I just wanted to ask again for a definitive answer on the use of saddle soap. Is it necessary?Just tried spit shining two of my shoes. Used an old t-shirt, coloured wax and good old spit. Spend 15 minutes on each shoe - hour total for two pairs - and I am amazed at how shiny leather can get. As pointed out in this thread earlier, be very "tight" on the spit/ water. It shouldn't take too long to get our shoes nice and shiny.
