I have some shiny new Dr Martens 1461s in Waxed Leather - these chaps*
Want to take care of them in the wet and Dr Marten's do both a dubbin and a wonder balsam and I'm not sure of the difference - any ideas?
When I used to work in Jones the Bootmaker as a teen I'm pretty sure we just sold "wax" for waxed leather and so am unused to the variations!
*they come up super big btw - I am usually an 8, sometime a 7 - downsized to 6.5 for these.
Dubbin is going to give you a waxy finish, balsam is likely a bit more gloss.
