I would frame that sheet on my wall and just admire it. Colors are lovely, and it's not a bad reference guide.
Thank you, Mr. Allison.

Mr. Allison thank you for the proper information on the difference between the Cream and the Wax polish and their proper application, you videos are great Knowledge and though I can hardly afford the very high end well constructed shoes I still love to take the time to care of the ones I own and love it, all the best Sir

Hello Kirby! Love your work. I live in Alaska where it gets quite dry for much of the year. As a new professional l have began to acquire a sizable collection of calf skin leather shoes/boots. I have enough pairs now that it can take quite a while for a pair to work their way through my rotation before their aesthetic dulls and could use a new regimen of leather conditioner, cream polish, and wax. My question to you is: as a man with a generous collection of shoes how often would you recondition and/or polish if you were in this challenging climate? Thank you sir.

[LlyleHunter]

Thank you very much Mr Allison. Great information here.

[andreagrassi]

Hi Kirby, wonderful video .
I would like to ask if is it suitable to use my saphir mink oil to nourish my leather jackets and briefcase since i dont treat them as often as my shoes.
Cheers Kirby, i look forward to see you here in Milan one day for a coffee .

I accidentally came across this video, which answered all my questions

[Pequin]

The best videos on you tube. Thank you ❤

[jedediahjehoshaphat]

Great video, that sure helped clarifying some confusions i had.

[gitrix]

Thank you

2:59 kirby didn't just use any random pencil or pen to scribble those words on that paper. no sir, he used one of his fine fountain pens of course.

can you do a video explaining the virtues of using a clear polish or clear conditioner and how often to apply? My main "nice" shoes are higher end Italian sneakers such as from Ermenegildo Zegna or Kiton with leather tops and rubber soles.. so I want to keep them like new.

An excellent and informative video, Mr Allison. Thank you!

I’ve been using the Saphir cream polishes for my shoes, but have been wondering whether to also add the Pate De Luxe waxes, primarily for protection. Two questions: (1) Assuming that I will be applying the wax after the cream polish, will the solvents in the wax remove the pigment and nutrients of the polish? (2) Given that I use the cream polishes for recoloring my shoes, will the neutral wax be sufficient for protective and shine purposes?
