Review: Those other gimmicky products can't touch this classic standy! - I love this stuff, been using it for decades on my horse tack and leather boots. No gimmicks, no bizarre edible ingredients, no suave label, just a great, proven product that gives consistent high-quality results. It conditions and absorbs well without leaving a residue or film. The smell is light and pleasant. After using it leather feels nourished without being mealy, weak, oily, or wet even if you over-apply it. It doesn't excessively darken leather and won't discolor leather if the application isn't perfectly even. It's ideal for thick leather but fine for thin leather if you use a light coat, and will last a long time. Like most conditioners, don't use it on suede or rough-out. It seems like only horse-people know about this stuff, which is surprising because I see more and more "saddle" products being used on all types of other leather goods, and this works better than 95% of them - trust me, I've tried them all before coming back to this old standby. Maybe people don't use it because it's not made with honey or milk or guava fruit or dragonfly farts, and doesn't have a fancy label? (The label is so very..... GERMAN isn't it? lol) Though I do love to follow conditioning with a beeswax protectant, like Obenhaufs which is an excellent product. I apply this stuff with my hands, but a sponge or a rag is fine. It's not so hard or thick you need your hands to melt it first, but it'll absorb a little better/faster and you'll lose a lot of product to rags and sponges which soak up the conditioner. For extremely dry leather (especially old saddle flaps), apply a generous coat and then gently bend/roll the leather back and forth, in and out - without forcing the leather too much (I cracked a brittle saddle-flap that way once). That'll separates the fibers and pull the conditioner in. Keep applying and flexing until you have the suppleness you want, then apply a good coat and let it sit overnight. Wipe off any excess the next day and let it sit a few more hours, there'll be no film or residue. I've made dry, brittle, cardboard-like leather supple and new-looking with that method. Also works for breaking in a new saddle fast, if you prefer not to ride in a stiff, slick saddle until it decides to soften up, if it ever does. Absolutely love this stuff, it's a classic and far superior to most of what's out there these days.
Review: Perfect for Vegetable Tanned Leather. - Wow! This is the best leather conditioner I've ever used. I purchased a lovely vegetable tanned handbag and used it on that. It enriched the color of the bag but did not darken it hardly at all...if at all. Just added a lovely soft sheen. I also used it on another veg tanned piece that was very light in color. Same result. Made this piece look just lovely without significant darkening. A tad but not much. I needed something with no chemical additives and this fit the bill. Smells wonderful too and my hands were soft after using the product on the bags.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a Buffalo/Bison couch and wondering if I can use this to condition the leather furniture?**
A: ABSOLUTELY!!!!! It is the BEST!!!! I have saddles made of buffalo and an Italian leather chair I use it on!!!!! Definitely worth every penny!!!!! Just get the small round sponges that fit in the tub, You will love it!!!!!

**Q: After conditioner dries, does leather return to original color? It just darken a pair of expensive boots so you can't see stitching**
A: I used the effax cleaner and then the balm, a day or so later on my (expensive, as well as sentimentally valuable) Mullholland Bros bridle leather briefcase/satchel.  No discoloration at all. It’s good stuff imho. I went on to use the two products on all kinds of other leather stuff like my wallets and dress shoes, and some of my mother’s  handbags/purses. With that said, the best results for a leather cleaning product tgat I personally have ever used were from Coach—incredible, but just too expensive for me to continue to use on a regular basis. But, yeah, whatever Coach was using was simply amazing. Still, I’m quite happy with Effax, and no—no discoloration on anything I’ve used it for.

**Q: Does the final result look glossy or matte?**
A: It really depends on how much you use, and the type of leather. Matte leather, with a thin coat/ thin use stayed matte for me,  albeit a tad darker. "Shiny" leather like on pieces of a western saddle positively SHINES. If I used a lot on a matte leather, it would be super shiny too. Very little goes a looong way  - but refrain from use on suede (unless its dire). Suede didn't like the stuff much.

**Q: how do you apply it to leater how long to wait etc?**
A: I applied by hand. Makes a wonderful hand lotion for chapped winter hands. I just rub it in and leave it.
