Pure shoe-fetischism
What a soothing way of spending your weekend, by taking care of your favorite pair of Oxford shoes!
In the Nilsson household, the male part of the family use the better half of Sunday afternoons to care for his collection of shoes.
Kim: Just like in the movie - the first thing to do is to clean the shoes with wash benzin (if you want to avoid the saddle wash foam that takes a lot longer to soak up and get dry). Then I apply Kiwi shoe paste with a applying brush (and let it dry for a few minutes - the instruction movie keeps a faster pace...) and after it is completely dry I buff it with a buff brush. Then I apply shoe creme (Saphir Medaille d'Or Crème) which is made of beeswax that helps protect the leather. To finish off with a perfect shine I apply a dab of water and super-shine polish (Saphir Medaille d'Or Pate de Luxe) and gently rub it into the leather with a fine piece of polish cloth. The final result is somewhat close to the instructional movie above.
