Any recommendation for Saphir polish or wax for antique cognac?

I can't get over these. This makeup is fantastic. Just to confirm - is this the U last? I'd love to replicate these in a pebble grain leather.

I got my first pair of Vass in Oxblood incoming. What color polish do you guys use?

Thanks, guys! I've used Navy wax on Black shoes before but never even seen Purple polish/wax. Interesting.

If you want to use cream (Saphir) for oxblood, some mix of mahogany, dark brown, navy, and black will keep you on center.

For the most part, I avoid pigmented product unless I'm really trying to change or darken the existing shade. Neutral cream polish works best for me, with a light coat of coloured paste wax in any burgudy-ish shade to help cover the occasional light abrasions. Black paste wax over oxblood also works. But again, IME the primary means of maintaining any original and unique shade is avoiding additional pigment as much as possible.

Incoming, finally! First try was on the wrong last so they had to do a new pair.
Rezsó apologized for the poor store lighting not doing justice to the walnut museum:

Great input, thanks a lot, guys.
