I have been working on mirror shining a pair of Alden cordovan shoes and one shoe is there and now trying to catch the other shoe up. It's weird because I put the same number of coats on both shoes but one is just taking a little longer. Learned a lot from watching your video. Thanks
I don't think I've ever seen any of your videos; however, I am extremely impressed by the quality of your mirror shine, as all of my shoes have a soft shine from regular Saphir cream polish. I think that when I grow up a little and buy more expensive leathers (shell cordovan and others) I may use your technique to do this type of shine. Until then, I think I'll continue to watch more of your videos to in theory get better at it. Thanks!
Is there any diference if i begin My mirror shine process with mirror gloss and finish it with patte de luxe and make it the opposite? (Begin with patte and finish with mirror gloss)
I believe that PdL will penetrate deeper and faster if used as first few coats, then MG is easily to buff off. However, you can do it the other way around, if you know what you're doing, the results are similar (the only variance is time)
Hello Scott great video. I see you don't shy way from wax your shells, have you noticed any issues with how the shell reacts to the wax? It seems people shy away from waxing shell because of oil leaking or the fear of hurting it. Thanks for sharing
Patriot 1 hello. That is a very good question. I have been in love with shoes all my life and it was only until very recently that I found out that the frist thing you should do with your new shoes is to polish them! Do a search on the subject "plolishing new shoes before wearing them" Pay especial attention to the answers of the chanel "The Elegant Oxford" All the best
Hi again when you wore them did you notice the creases becomes a little white? After use I immediately brushed them and all white disappeared. I got the same as yours and the green 80531 forest both cordovan.
@@newinspiration2108 That's what I was thinking, but was only going by pictures of the last. I noticed you also had a pair of AS Moore on the 724 last, do you have the same experience with thees shoes?
@@newinspiration2108 So you'd say its in line with the rain and elton on your feet? The photos of the last and shoes made on it always through me off. It looks to have a slender fit around the heel and mid foot.
@@thechemtrailkid they make the last look that way, point of sales. They fit pretty similar, high instep, slightly generous width, high toe walls, but heels are all very good.
Damn beautfull color for shoes i never thought about! will be my next pair with that color!
I love how everything in your videos are of top notch material and build quality.
A STUNNING pair!
You inspire me. After this video and the transformation of the fifth avenue in walnut to green, I am going to transform the liverpool to green.
I like to watch your work of mirrorshine shoes and the end it's most better to see the shoes with the mirrorshine.

thank you, glad to know so!
First.
Nice shoe color!
Good day again, another relaxing peace of mind well done. Is that a pig bristle brush? Thanks God bless.
yes it is, the shorter bristle was pig brush
Hi again if I use a Saphir regular cream on a cordovan shell would it be a big mistake? Thanks again
@@johnparkerzabala it is not recommended. mistake/bad? I'm not sure
Beautiful shoes!
thank you!!
Nice Shoes And New.It's Very Early To Shine It 😐
Awesome!!!

absolutely nothing happens as long as you don't cake the wax on the vamp or any area that the shoes flex
Time out... Money Green Cordovan Brouges... is nobody going to mention how tremendous these shoes are??
Lol there's actually green cordovan, also again as I commented in like 3 of your videos what cloth do you use to shine your shoes
With these shells, why did you go straight to Reno instead of applying rubbing alcohol to take off the acrylic finish?
I don't think Carmina put any arcylic finish on top of their shell products.
Green. In. Shoes. !!!??? Almost. Good. Enough. To. Eat. !!
Dude. Those shoes are brand new. What’s the point? Pimp shoes

did you use saphir reno at the beginning around 4:28? or is that neutral cordovan creame? Is it better to use that and let them patina?
where does one buy the water bottle for sale?

that's called "blooming", shell cordovan is full of oil and fat which will be pushed to the surface when you walk. nothing wrong.
Just noticed your shoes has 4 eyelets when I looked at the website it has 5
oh really? this model only has 4 eyelets, and derby lacing
Loden?
Do you have any experience with the Meermin Elton last? If so how does the Rain last compare? If not, very nice shoes!
those 2 lasts are quite similar, which is not surprising since they resemble each other, both have high instep and slightly generous width.
@@newinspiration2108 That's what I was thinking, but was only going by pictures of the last. I noticed you also had a pair of AS Moore on the 724 last, do you have the same experience with thees shoes?
@@thechemtrailkid oh yes, the 724 last fits quite generous due to high toebox and instep

Они ни разу не ношены, ни разу не носились, в идеальном состоянии. Обьясните мне, зачем он их вообще вычищает??Коль они и так новы
Is this what you do on all new pairs?
more or less yes
Are Carmina Shoes true to size? Thx
the fit really depends on the last, they are all TTS but some are snug fit (Simpson, Robert), others are generous (Rain, Detroit)
An hour for this shit??? I’d be done in 15 mins
