Very nice. The darker spots on the Aldwych are intentional? Or is it just drying from some conditioning.

My nubuck boots also have darker tone like this, clean a few time still unable to remove. How yo get rid of it?

These are just incredible for 172 US shipped. I also have an order on the way from Skolyx, from their Black Friday sale, but I think it's for other brands. I've long been wanting to pull the trigger on Yanko, though, as I think they may unfairly be falling into some middle category -- as in, they seem to be a step up (and thus not as great a value?) as something like Meermin, but not as much a step up as something like Carlos Santos (and thus not as interesting at the price). But gosh, you just got those for less than the cost of Meermins, and I have no doubt that they are considerably higher quality. I need to get some soon! Please do let us know how they wear.

Someone mentioned Carlos Santos?

I realised that! I won about £150 worth of Saphir products. The other time I won a filled Loake Valet box as well but I only used the box haha.
Also sometimes I get given polishes when I drop by some of the shoe shops.
Tbh I have too many brushes now, perhaps about 12?

It's ok, brushes are consumable
also we use different brushes for different color shoes

Got this last week, getting it because of Horween leather
heard Horween Chromexcel don't need much care, just brush and it will shine

How are you liking these? I, too, recently tried Chromexcel for the first time, on these Grant Stone loafers I got an incredible deal on. Within fifteen minutes on the first wear they developed some wrinkles on the right foot, as you can see, but I ordered some neatsfoot oil to rub into them and that seemed to help. Super comfortable shoes, by the way, and I'm really digging the leather. I bet it's fantastic for boots.
Horween Chromexcel, not bad very soft
crease is quite manageable.. put on with a shoe tree will be like new again on next wear

If any scratches just need a few buff and will be good again

Saw this at the shoe section for Parkson Pavi

Famaco Cirage De Luxe (Made in France)

Had a look at the ingredients and what popped up was Saphirs Pate De Luxe (Ingredients Sheet). Cost of this was about RM18 so basically Pate De Luxe clone for 1/5th the price? shocking.gif

Anyone tried out this polish before? Curious if performance is similar.

Here's a pic of some of the shoes I'm moving on to their next owner, if anyone is interested. I'll try to get pics of everything, one pair at a time, up soon.
