Manwhore?

chogall I seriously don't get your problem. You seems nice to others, but this is closer to the edge than ever with me.

Come on, guys, leave Travers alone. I know he writes some daft comments, sometimes, but I guess we all do that. He also offers useful comments, too and always seems bright and breezy.

Question for spring cleaning, fellas - anybody using Renomat as a soap (lather with dampened applicator) rather than a stripper? I hope I'm not alone.

 

[DrizztD]

I'm sure this has been covered in the 900+ pages, but what's the difference between Saphir Renomat and Renovatuer?

And under what circumstances should i use which?

I just acquired both, but am unsure of how to proceed.

 

[traverscao]

Renovateur is a conditioning cream. Renomat is a medium grade stripper that can be lather up into a soapy cleaner as well.

He's an asshat to everyone that isn't a cordwainer. An asshat with good taste, but still an asshat.

He seems to be a fine fella, FWIW, if he just opens a little more.

Easy, tigers...all will be well. Now, back to shoes!

LOL!!! Any spring cleaning activities?

I've bought a pair of Bally Arise shoes and they seem not to take a polish. Even brushing them with a horsehair brush seems to raise a knap on the leather as seen below. Any suggestions on care?

CG leather? It doesn't look anything like CG, though, to be honest.

How bout try clean it with a dauber and warm water, then apply Lexol conditioner, let completely dry, then come back polishing?
