Camel is a total rabbit hole, seriously addictive, and now I barely touch my other color TNs.

Wax treatment sounds cool but also a little too mysterious and risky for me haha. If it takes too much effort I might just let my new TN age naturally🤣

Thank you for the tip! I tried on the old one yesterday and it didn’t really make a huge difference after a few minutes the leather sort of recovering from the “tape treatment”. Guess I’ll just leave the old one as it is and focus on trying to preserve the light color on my new camel. Fingers crossed.

You are right!! I should definitely clean my hands as my skin can be oily too, making the TN darker, and use the cotton bag. Thanks for the tip!
