Leather tool / Product reviews

HI guys and girls. thought I would make a thread, where we could recommend tools or other products.

I will start by recommending Alfie Shine wood polish. Got it about half a year ago, before that I used my own mixture of bees wax and lindseed oil.

Not all know, that new tools, are often coating in a cheap lacquer. For shipping and display, to protect the wood.

And example could be this Blanchard tool. Thick high gloss lacquer. If you look closely, you can even se it, coming up on the brass fural.

I really don't feel nice to touch.

First thing I do, when getting a new tool, is getting the lacquer of. Sandpaper 320, then 500, then 800-1200. By then, I will be silky smooth, and feel like a baby's butt!, a Wooden baby's butt that is :D

Here is a picture, of different wood types after Alfie Shine. its a satin finish.

It feels amazing, it smells fantastik. Its a blend of different waxes.

Price for the set is £23/29$/25€. You will have enough to last a lifetime.

That was my little review. feel free to ask questions.

Please feel free to post your own review in this thread.

If anybody owns a fileteuse, and could recommend what tips to get. I only have a 1.5F iron right now. And can't decide what to get next.
