Great review, I learned about shoe care while working at a country club where we did shoe shine. I recently found and bought some vintage orginal military boots from the 80's and the first thing I did was use Bick 4 to make sure the leather hadn't dried out over the decades. After watching your video, I think I'll stick with it as it doesn't darken, seems less messy to apply, and doesn't seem to leave much residue a few days later
The smell of the product is very important to me…Thanks.
Thanks for the smell test!
Use Saddle Soap and then Griot's Leather Conditioner, it smells like Leather like Lexol used to!
Lexol is #1 for a reason, but I switched to Griot's.
Bick 4 for peronal life boot/cowbow boot (due to not darking the leather) and mink oil/paste for work boot. Just spray water after the day in my ranch that has mink paste and its pretty much clean.
Exactly the comparison video I was looking for. Thanks 🙏
Totally helpful! I was having a hard time figuring out exactly what the Bick 4 was. Thank you.
Nice video,I have only watched a few of your videos so far but have you tried using Blackrock on your work boots yet?
Have you ever tried pure neatsfoot oil? I dont know if silicone is good for leather.
Just bought a pair of carolina ca7811, will the bick 4 waterproof them?
I don’t think Bick 4 has waterproofing properties. It’s intended to help with leathers that are drying out with age or use rather than forming a protective layer on the surface of the leather. Think using normal hand lotion vs heavy duty Aquaphor or petroleum jelly on your hands.
Bick 4 will help with water resistance but it isnt substantial. Your best bet would be Heavy Duty Obenaufs for a conditioner with good water resistance. Huberds shoe grease is really good too. Keep in mind these will significantly darken compared to bick 4. Bick 4 almost does no darkening at all after some time once it has fully dried
@bestformyfeet would you recommend either of these for a stiff leather lifting belt?
I think both are going to be great for moisturizing the belt👍🏼
