My OH used to be part of a major saddle manufacturer's business so I'm indoctrinated into keeping tack clean and supple
It’s not been cleaned in god knows how long so it’s really dry!I would change the order, oil then balm, as oil sinks in further and is thinner (same as with skin care, runniest first, most solid last), but I'd only use the oil if the leather was actually really dried out. Balm/conditioner contains wax which is the ultimate waterproofer so would seal out the oil, and obviously should go on last.
