I've come to prefer the Allen-Edmonds leather conditioner over lexol, although I use both. I don't know who makes it, but it's creamier than lexol.

I'll add some photos to the thread of a couple of recent AE aquisitions...

The AE Park Avenue in black....I put this in my light tent normally used for watch photography. Worked out well:

I snagged this pair of Lexington's brand new off the 'bay for about $100.00 delivered.

It is a WAY better product. Lexol may feed the leather but it leaves a dull finish, whereas the AE conditioner shines quite well.

im gonna try out ae conditioner as well.

ive been using kiwi leather conditioner all this time and it has been very good.

feeds the leather and brings out a nice shine even to unpolished shoes.

If you have any chance to get it, try out "Burgol Schuhreiniger".
Burgol is relatively pricy, but I can't imagine that there's something better, also their shoepolishes and brushes are excellent.
The only problem is, that I don't know if it's available outside Europe or if there's an online shop that carries it and ships worldwide.

Nice picks. The Lexington is one of my favorite AEs. Hope it wasn't a 9.5!
