I'm super stoked to be finally offering a selection of Saphir products to Massdrop! I've been using Saphir for several years now and they really are exceptional products. To give you all maximum flexibility, I've set this drop up so that you can pick between the most popular colors of cream polishes or sub in some Renovateur if you'd like (that stuff is magic). If you want more than 2, you can click 'add another selection' after clicking 'join now' to select another 2-pack.
Questions? Ask away!
2. Regarding what color to pick - it doesn't need to be a perfect match, in my opinion. A slightly lighter color polish will keep the shoes about the same, a similar or darker color may deepen/darken the color slightly over time. Neutral will slightly darken shoes over time. For AE merlot, I would go with mahogany, for AE chili I would go with cognac or light brown. If you're looking for burgundy, I'd suggest mahogany, as it's also red but with less purple undertones.
3. Differences between the creams and Reno - they serve fundamentally different purposes, although both will keep your shoes heathy. Reno is a deep cleaner and conditioner, and truly is like magic. The cream will raise a slight shine, but is more intended to restore pigment to the shoes (so yes, ideally you would have one cream for each color of shoe).
My normal calf shoe care regimen looks like this: 1. Brush off shoe to remove dirt 2. Condition with Renovateur, let sit, brush 3. Apply cream polish, let sit, brush 4. Optional - add wax polish for high shine, buff
Sometimes it's fancier than that, but this is generally what I do.

I'm not sure what to put in the poll if I want to see something like this. This drop I'm buying more Pommadier products but I don't own any Pate de Luxe yet and I'd love to.
