I've used Lexol and love it! Agree with beeb's assessment of how to use it.

Do you guys condition and smoosh your crunch bags? I have been, before I use them I lube them up with the Lexol, then roll them and knead them and smoosh them. Then I hang them up, wait for 24 or so hours, then buff the leather. And they end up looking so pretty and soft. I was wondering if anyone else does this?

I use the Lexol conditioner and love it, but I have not smooshed. Sounds like your bags turn out great!

I have used both Lexol conditioner and lubriderm lotion on my tanos. In my opinion, the lexol conditioner does a better job than the lubriderm lotion.

I think someone else used to do this... I may try it when I break in a crunch bag... though that doesn't happen much lol

I do it because even though crunch isn't a super stiff leather, I can tell the difference between a bag I've lexoled and smooshed and one I haven't. From my experience with the sex bomb, the leather softens up over use anyway. What I do speeds up the softening.

I read that people have been apple guarding the bella bags...I actually have a can of the spray that I bought a year ago to spray a camel bag that I never ended up spraying or keeping. Is that spray still ok to use? I have a deep ocean EOT coming and I do not want to ruin her.
