Is this shark leather?

I think I've posted this many times but the STC wingtip is such a beautiful design. While Russian calf seems to get a love/hate relationship, I absolutely love it and especially here paired with the wingtips. Takes a bit extra tlc but I don't mind it at all.

I think the hate was mostly because, initially, some people found it to be challenging to maintain as the method is slightly different from regular calf. We made a guide with StC which you can see below. However, personally I only use BICK4 and it works very well.
Russian Calf Shoe Care Recommendation
RUS075 or Russian Calf as it is also known is a hatch grain calf provided by Saint Crispin's. Its special character and grain is ideal for a casual look. Over time Russian Calf will develop a beautiful and characteristic patina unique for each pair and user. To maintain it see these...www.skoaktiebolaget.com
Can I tag on this? @Leaves do you recommend the same care regimen for Utah calf?Great write up and tips @Leaves. In regards to Rus - Can you further elaborate on:
1. In the write up, you mention to use Wax (medium brown) and regular brushing - so when there scuffing, you touch up mainly with the wax as oppose to Pomade?
2. But then in the post above you mention, you only use bick4 - do you find one to achieve better result than the other?
Looks like the wild deer has shipped out... are there any pics in the wild yet?
