It's baseball(or softball)time right! I got this from the other board and thought it was a helpful question as I too have a dry Nakona glove to restore for use in April! |

There's lots of folk remedies for baseball gloves, including shaving cream, slathering it with shaving cream and microwaving it (really), olive oil, and glove oil, among other things. |

Al is 100% correct. The reason shaving cream works is that many shaving creams contain lanolin. |

Mink oil is mainly used to condition a glove , not for new gloves to break in. |

It's always worked for me, but maybe that's why I am not that good. It's the oil I use on my glove. That's the ticket. That's also why I can't hit well or pitch well either.. And while we're at it maybe that's why the economy is sucking; mink oil. |

I just Googled about and found Glove Affairs by Noah Liberman on eBay. That's the book! Looks like I was 10 to 20 pages short, and about 9 years off. But that is the book. Neat book to read a few minutes at a time. |

as kids we used Mink oil, it took along time. Over the years the quickest method based on a couple of area coaches has been the shaving cream in the oven. |

That was a great story. I have been a free agent this year and don't think I got picked up ....... The real story is how in the heck did you get your wife and mom to do the grilling? Baseball/softball is still my favorite sport... |
