Anyone who has tried to achieve a mirror shine knows the level of mastery involved in getting this high of a shine on TWO SHOES in 45 MINUTES. Bravo.

[@MasonandSmithSingapore]

thank you for your compliments!

[@glennmariacher4525]

Incredibly, this is the first tutorial where they include the tongue of the shoe! Thank you, Glenn

[@MasonandSmithSingapore]

Glad it was helpful!

[@omanhquan7572]

Can i ask more about the brand of all products that you using in the video? Thank you so much

[@charlesberlanga4452]

I know what I’ve been doing wrong. I need to wear a suit, a suit is the secret.

[@johnjackson8783]

The shine is something to behold but the true mark of professionalism is not a speck of polish on the shirt or coat cuffs....

[@jeakim4152]

Music too loud !
Why don’t try to start front ?
To take a long ~ How long does take one pair ?

[@PeriMCS]

All tutorials start with dirty shoe. But what should I do when my shoes had a mirror shine say month ago, they became somewhat dirty and I want them to look great again? Do I wash everything off and start from beginning?

[@dragonfirefunctionalfitnes7925]

Nice tutorial however, the framing...😏
In some shots, we can't see half of what you're doing.

[@bradlarrison191]

The music was lovely and the mirror shine is excellent. Also, I prefer cotton balls. But they are more demanding than fabric as you have to be careful to not use cotton balls that are too abrasive. Just a habit from when I polished my boots in the military. I don’t think there’s much of a difference either way.

[@breal401]

I tried this technique with my girlfriend and she proposed right after

[@maxdominate2481]

Beautiful chocolate cap toe oxfords...even before the shine. The owner shoe should use shoe trees regularly.

[@MasonandSmithSingapore]

Yes the shoes are from Joseph Cheaney!

[@awalkwithtilly6512]

@@MasonandSmithSingapore I have some Cheaney dark brown suede semi brougues and I can attest to their being fantastic shoes, they must be twenty years old now still look good, those and Church's are superb makers although they've both got prohibitively expensive over recent years.

Wow, to me this is art and absolute class, fantastic, well done.

[@rlkinnard]

mirror shine is just too much, in my opinion.

[@davidv.l.hriatzela6295]

Great content sir. I am starting to shine my shoes with saphir wax, how is your wax so consistent in the can. Mine is fairly new but it cracks in the can. Is it because im using beaute de cuir instead of medaille dior

[@markm.9731]

What is the name of the first cleaner that was used for removing old waxes?

[@ericneal8582]

Not sure what Mason and Smith use, specifically, but Saphir makes a fantastic cleaner called Renomat

[@dogrescuer1321]

Thanks. Where can I buy an oval ergonomic horse hair brush, please ?

[@BasshunterBelial]

Perfection.

[@suleimanshaik]

Love it, thanks

[@augustinetan7434]

And that is why they are clearly the best.

[@MasonandSmithSingapore]

Thank you for the compliments!

[@edgarasapalainis2187]

Somehow my shoes turns to matte whenever i start the polish process. Using Coccine neutral wax. Is it because of wax or am I missing something here in the proccess? :/

[@muhammadfaris2239]

What coloured waxes did you use here?

[@stephenrix917]

one of the tins as to a gloss shine wax

[@simonscott1000]

Do the instep, iron the laces. 😮‍💨

[@emmanuelmontalvo1676]

Does any kind of shoe can be mirror shined?

[@hbsong9964]

what brand is the boot ink and brush at the end?

[@beverlyhill1138]

My father always cleaned his shoes like that !

[@22oonim]

Spa for my boots❤👍

[@fumwatanabe9698]

i can understand very clearly! thanks!

[@niikarl266]

[@rickpowell2075]

Why two tins of wax?

[@tchristopher3]

What type of shoe polish are you using and is it a brown color? (It looks black) Does it matter what brand?

[@MasonandSmithSingapore]

hi there! yes its dark brown - doesnt matter but we're using saphir here!

[@zhixiangteo583]

Do you use different kinds of wax for different coloured shoes?

[@tarotrue8317]

[@thesteve2220]

hi, Does the pressure bottle where there is water have a specific name?

[@ericneal8582]

You can Google "Shoe Shine Glass Water Dispenser" and one should come up.

[@thesteve2220]

Many thanks 🙏👍

[@ericneal8582]

@@thesteve2220 my pleasure. I Got caught in a TH-cam vortex and saw another video by Johnny Chung. In that video, he mentions using Boot Black's Leather Lotion.

[@丸紅とっと]

Superb!!

[@MasonandSmithSingapore]

Thank you!

[@rockeysingh8841]

Would have helped to have commentary on products and techniques that were used instead of annoying noise disguised as" music ".
A possible q for efforts.

[@yannissakellarakis1798]

Do I have to wear a jacket and tie??

[@rcmoot]

No need to see removing laces.

[@tomthayer8180]

Please lose the music.
