      I've stopped oiling leather a long time ago, good leather doesn't need it (which the above pic seems to acknowledge to me) …

        I don't know, the untreated one seems to be cracking a bit around the holes.  I'd agree that it shows good leather needs minimal care, though. 😉

                                just curious, is the mustang paste any better than the LP since there is quite a big difference in their pricing..

                                p.s/ don't shoot me for asking.. i know there's pictures from this experiment which G painstakingly did over a period of time but im just curious…  😶

                                make peace, not war. <3

                                  In the next couple of months I will do a bend and stress test, then we may know…...

                                    My faves are the results from the mustang and LP!

                                      seriously can't wait! guess I'll hold my fingers and wait for the outcome before getting the mustang paste. 🙂

                                        I'm really curious about this as well. I'm just about out of Buffalo Butter and wanted to try something new.

                                          Looking forward to the Christmas update for this thread :). This evidence-based approach is one of the many reasons why I love this place and Giles :blushes:
