I have several surplus m7 shoulder holsters, the black type. I use them while hiking, and wanted to treat one I used last summer on a hike in colorado. Some of the black paint wore off, and it seems stiff now. I shaving cream ok to use? Just want to loosen the straps up a bit.

It's one thing to use terrorism to make a political statement, but the wanton mutilation and suffering of innocents? How does that forward your political goals? When done in the name of religion, how does that earn you brownie points with God?
Fuck religious extremism. And especially fuck the "religion of peace." "

Personally, I'd use saddle soap.....it has worked for me for years.

Find something with lanolin. It's good for leather.

Yeah I would definitely use something for saddles.
Leather takes constant attention and can be ruined in
no time. Saddle soap is the best starting point. This
comes from someone that has helped his wife spend
thousands on leather goods. Horse related stuff for you
guys with strange minds.
Just asked the wife god about leather. All she uses is saddle soap
and bee's wax oil. And you have better believe it works, because
when she was in a show your tack was judged also.

While no one ever listens to me,
I am constantly being told to be quiet.

Unless your holster is growing a beard and needs a shave I wouldn't recommend a shaving cream.
One good treatment that's easily available, works very well, won't discolor the leather, and won't leech back out all over your clothes is Lexol Leather Conditioner.
You can buy it at most any shoe shop, western store, farm and home store, Tandy Leather, and other local places.
SHAKE THE BOTTLE really well, apply a good coat and allow to soak in completely, then wipe down with a cloth.
I've used it for many years on rifle slings because it keeps them pliable without causing them to stretch.
Mink oil. It is what i use on my tool belt, knife sheath that is exposed to salt water. Softens it right up but won't cause it to lose strength. It is also amazing on dry hands. Believe me cold salt water really screws with your hands.

Obenauf's LP.
It's made of beeswax and propylis. There are no petroleum solvents or animal fats and oils. It won't overly soften the leather.

Usually sufferers of paraphilic infantilism are proud of their condition. Kinda like being a liberal. Your mental flaws are there for the entire world to see, and you're damned proud of it. - tank_monkey
I have used Fiebing's Prime Neatsfoot Oil Compound for years.
It is available at the local Farm and Home store for about $8.00 a pint and a little bit goes a long way.
Saddle soap is also excellent on holsters, just doesn't moisturize as much if the leather is very dry.
