That's because very few SF members "bull" their shoes . . . nice job!
What do you mean by "bull?"
bulling = getting that mirror shine
This term comes from the British military. To "Bull" is to push- so you are forcing the polish into the leather.
In the U.S. Navy we just do a "spit-shine", but it's essentially the same thing. Many light layers of polish and then finished with a little bit of spit to smooth out the finish. Some also use cold water on a cotton ball.
