Leather Honey

4.4

"I'm all about Leather Honey."

"Leather Honey - pure glycerin and absolutely amazing."

"I've heard rave reviews about Leather Honey, anyone tried it on Clark's beeswax leather?"

"I have restored a couple jackets with leather honey. It went well."

"I also heard a lot of good stuff about leather honey but this might darken your leather so I’d recommend only using it on darker colours or try it out on a small part of the bag which is not visible."

"Leather honey could darken the leather initially as it returns the mositure to the leather but will lighten back up over time."

Bick

4.1

(16)

"Bick 4 is VERY light.....it's a fool proof conditioner for those wanting slight hydration with no visual darkening or alterations to the leather."

"Bick 4 is probably a bit 'safer' if your worried about using a conditioner in general for the first time."

"Bick 4 or Leather Honey do the job really well for jackets."

"Bick4. Venetian shoe cream is good too but it will darken them for a couple months"

"Look into Bick 4 or Venetian Leather Balm—more of a conditioner but both have some waterproofing built in without changing the color"

Mink Oil

4.3

(6)

"Mink oil from Walmart works amazing!"

"The very knowledgable lady... told me that mink oil is the best."
