Thanks for the quick reply and information.

 

 

I'll definitely have to take this into consideration.

 

 

Cheers,

Wow, didn't expect that so quickly.

 

Just recieved notification that my first pair of Lindricks have shipped.

 

 

 

I can smell the Cordovan.

For clarity's sake, when you say Saphir cordovan cream, are you referring to their cordo-specific product which has a neatsfoot oil base and no turpentine?

Confused here because that is definitely a different product than the Saphir renovateur.

However in your opinion what makes Venetian Cream better than Saphir Renovator when it comes to using it on shell?

 

Saphir seems to take off some color, which you will notice if you use a white cloth, the cloth gets dyed the same color of the shoe. 

 

Venetian Shoe Cream can buff to a higher shine than Saphir and is made in America.

Shell and RL experts, here are my shoes and here is the said blemish on my shoes. What is the thought? ask to exchange or will this go away with some Reno?

Use the deerbone and brush, after 5 min you'll remove it.

Yeah good shot here. Also looks like you creased the shoe already, really hate when people crease then exchange / return

Yep, the brown was sold out just a bit ago.

 

 

Seems like the black will be availible for awhlle though.

 

 

Apparently it appears as the word has gotten out about brown being the cordovan version, and black being calf, or  more people prefer brown over black.

I have been using Saphir and I did notice that.

 

 

However I have yet to use Venetian yet and it seemed as more people here recommend Saphir.

 

 

Thank you for your persopective.

 

 

I enjoy your video reviews by the way, keep up the good work.

 

 

Cheers,

 

Dan
