Thanks for the info. I just seen a Mlb player saying rubbin both sides. Thanks for the Information.
Firstly-get well fast, Mr. Traber.
And, I wish that this video was around when I was a kid! I did the same thing, but I had to go by the description in Boys' Life. The written word at such a level only goes so far.
Also, great use of Interlude by Larry Owens. :)
Jim is a legend here in Baltimore. He is well loved.
Shaving cream is great and I’ve been using it for years. I put it all over my glove, even on the back. It get the whole glove softened up, especially if your trying to break it in.
Woks great...Thank you. TH-cam is such a beautiful thing!
I like the bob Ross music in the background.
The main thing is playing catch with the glove. Either before or after you slather it up - or even if you don't - play catch with the glove!
Do you do this on catchers mit also
We haven't played catch or ball in a fee years ,since my oldest don left home . My 11 year old told me the 9ther day to find him some gloves hes ready to play catch with friends , well the have been out in the storage shed through out summers winters and all between, it was tight, couldn't shut it all the way. I was loosing all the finger lace working it by hand. And thought theres hot to be another way , 8 was about 5o spray it all done with DW40 that WD fixes everything else so why not. Just before I did it I figure I'll look it up . Now I have 2 gloves settin over there full of shavin cream and socks 😂 thanks man
doing this tonight, will update you in two days
How’d it go?
@@destroso I had to do it twice but it's definitely softer. I think a third time will get it exactly where I want it.
If you do this you want the shaving cream with Lanolin ..
It’s the aloe vera that’s in it
This what I’ve done since 97
Why not put shaving cream on the whole glove?
Did you get permission from Bob Ross to use his theme music?
Anyone else here a dear Evan Hansen fan hoping for an answer as to if that song is true?
Yes
Is this for real? Lol
Yes using shaving cream is a popular conditioner for leather.
Will you send me a link of a pro that approves using shaving cream on a glove?
Um...this is a video of just that.
You just saw a video of one.
He played 1B for the Orioles for years.
No link needed.
Are use shaving cream on both sides and then throw it in the oven at 275 for about five minutes sometimes I do it twice workthe gloves in beat it with a bat Work the seams play catch within an hour glove is game ready
Traber signed a bunch of baseball cards that I brought to the booth during bedlam football last year it was great. A lot of ppl hate on him but I think he's one of the best in the business and he tells it how it is.
Wish someone had shown me this as a kid!
