but a great shine....in n. calif. it runs $8 ,but I have been using it for half a century....most shoes today will not take an old fashioned spit shine,the rapid acceleration of the final buffing "rag" will burn right through the thin tanned leather of todays shoes..in the 1960's you could heat up the biscuit toe of a real pair of stacey adams shoes with that shine rag,the leather could take it,and you could comb your hair in the toe caps shine...
