I've used Obenaufs for years, and have more recently been using Huberd's for leather shoes, boots, and leather notebooks. It smells great, but maybe not quite as weather resistant as Obenaufs. For that reason I use Obenaufs on my Brooks saddles. Matt On Wednesday, December 19, 2018 at 8:15:16

Deacon Patrick: I, too, blend beeswax and coconut oil (probably got the recipe here on this list, from you). But I also use Obenauf's because I have some. And now there's Huberd's and Montana Pitch Blend and pine tar

I melt half beeswax and coconut oil as a do all skin, leather, and wood balm/conditioner. Works wonderfully. Shift the ratio to more or less wax based on how stiff you want it to be. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

Tony McG: Could you elaborate on what you mean by "better luck with Obenauf's"? I'm not challenging you; just trying to learn in which ways Obenauf's is better for your saddle(s) than are Huberd's Shoe Grease and Montana Pitch Blend. (I've used Obenauf's for years, and I like it just fine. But
