        Oil has been applied, just waiting for it to soak in, then I'll take a photo.

              Feck, I'm going to have to get into the olive oil business…....We do have an olive tree in the garden, but only got 6 olives off it this year.......

                  Well, to give us an objective impression, you should also describe the odour of all leather pieces 😉 Olive and Mustang are super nice.

                      How more objective can I be than giving you a photo with no comment?

                      And subjective is subjective - depends what you want to achieve.  Personally I think it is remarkable that the mustang paste does not alter the original colour…..Not saying that is what I like, just think it is remarkable......

                        Natural for the win. I might have to go with Kiya on this and not treat any of my leathers…

                              I haven't been oiling my Samurai belt yet as I love the natural colour right now. But then, it has a light tan out of the factory. My Obbigood or Pike Brothers belt that came really raw, grainy and light coloured needed treatment. Still, I think I'll oil my W001 someday, but not yet.

                                    Will do.  I walk past it everyday, and it looks pretty similar to me.  But pics tomorrow…..

                                            Oh, my bad. I was just browsing through the last post where it said tomorrow, that got me confused.
