Bringing back a glove conditioner convo, maybe?

[mkaufm1]

End of summer, and I’m going through and conditioning my gloves on a cool 110 degF Texas day… I’m low on what’s been my back and forth/come again favorite Rawlings balm and wondering what other folks prefer to use.

I’ve been thinking about picking up ballplayers pro balm, again, and trying the “conditioner lite” as well.

What’s everyone else using these days? Anyone have thoughts on the ballplayers balm conditioner lite?

I’ve heard from several big glove guys that Ball Players Balm is the new kid on the block, I’ve personally never used it before, but only because I still have 2.5 bottles of Surf City Voodoo Blend left, or else I would have tried by now. I’m sure it’s great!

BTW….I do love my Voodoo Blend!

I’m gonna have to add that to my watch list. That rarified air looks out of stock most places.

It checks all the boxes I’ve been told to follow in the past… more natural is better (beeswax>vaseloline but vasoline isn’t terrible); limit mink oil; use lanolin; and if it doesn’t belong on your hands it shouldn't be on your glove.

Squalene oil from Japan. Haven't tried to grab anymore lately so not sure if it can be bought anymore, especially since Swallow no longer ships to the US.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I've been using baby oil for decades. Usually only takes one session (maybe 2 if the new glove is really stiff). Lasts for a few seasons.
@dttruax I think I may give squalene a try if it's a little lighter than baby oil
