Joseph Allen leather scale care?
So I've had this Joseph Allen for a few years and shaved with it many times. I always thought the scales were wood. I never did any sanding or anything because I thought they looked good enough. I pulled it out this morning and thought I'd polish up the lead wedge and realized they're not wood at all. They appear to be leather. I didn't care much for these scales an hour ago but now they've peaked my interest. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has experience with leather scales and how they care for them. Obviously they'll need some oil but what Kind and how. I don't want these babies getting all soft and floppy. I've done a search but most of what I found seemed speculative. Any help would be much appreciated.
