        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

                                        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:
