Basic Holster care question (Hardshell)

Search both Forums..There is a wealth of information about this subject. Collector holsters are much different from leather furniture. Different leather and different use. Different from shoes and boots too..Remember this..leather holsters are like a sponge. They absorb things you may put on but once on..not so easily off. Think hard about what you plan to put on.
The good thing about Bill's suggestion is that Connolly's is a lanolin that is found and extracted naturally from sheep hide. It only penetrates the very surface where you want to stop cracking. Hand creams are made of the same stuff.

If 100% Lanolin is what you wish to try, check your local drugstore for a 100% Lanolin lotion used by nursing mothers.

I don't know how it affects holsters, but I can assure you that it leaves women's skin soft and smooth.
