I did the same (this process + LBM) but I was wondering... Did you do the conditioner as well?

I didn't I got to wondering if everyone wasn't maybe having issues from the conditioner. I don't feel like it needs to be conditioned it feels soft and not dry and I feel like that step might be unnecessary especially on a new one. I actually really like the way it looks now I think I'm going to leave it and stop messing with it now for fear of doing something I will regret.

Thanks for the reply!!

Same here! I didn't use the conditioner either, I was curious to what others thought though. I LVoe how it looks with just a tad bit of patina and I'm hoping the LMB will slow the oxidation process.

Picture below: Azur Speedy 35. Brand spanking new and not yet carried. I did the three day process that the OP suggested as well as LMB over the course of several days (minus the conditioner). I'm extremely happy with the results!

This is exactly what I did too with my delightful and I agree was hoping it will slow the oxidation and help to further prevent any issues if something comes in contact with the vachetta - here's hoping!

I just did this to my 2 yr old delightful mm... I was trying to remove the dirt buildup on the bottom of the handle (didn't work) so I also used a bit too much water. It still dried fast, then I polished it so even though its a shade darker it seems more even and its nice and shiny so I'm okay with the results :P

I want to try this a bit later and do it on some of my moms bags for her too! A bit confused about the whole "polishing" part though. Is there a special motion you wipe to polish it or do you just mean go over it with a dry sock the same way you did the wet. I imagine polishing as rubbing it a but more firmly over each area a few times when i think I polishing jewelry or silver or something? Like that? Thanks so much!

polish the same as you did when you put the water on with the sock ...just lightly :)

So are the long term uses of LMB discussed anywhere else? I'm torn between both methods. I don't necessarily want to excelerate the patina process with the water but it does makes sense to make things even so everything blends. So does the LMB stuff prevent patina all together?

No lmb does not stop patina. It just protects bag from oiks and water . My method is all natural which I think is best for the leather
