I have a pair of unlined Bally loafers that seem to be on the verge of cracking. So I want to salther on some shoe conditioner. Saphir Renovateur seems to be quite popular here.
Does anyone know where I can get some?

Also, I quite like the matte-ish finish of the shoe; if I wax after conditioning, it'll get all shiny, is the waxing necessary?

No, you can't find Saphir Renovateur in HK. Saphir have another conditioner sold in HK.
You don't need the wax if you don't want the shine. Use shoe cream instead.

Groom Shoe Repair's website says it sells Saphir, is that other conditioner just as good?
Also, what creams would you recommend getting? All of those suggested in other threads don't seem to be sold in HK :\\

Sorry for all these questions, noob here.
