Has any one tried/used the shaving cream method described on HOME PLATE....5 gal bucket, 2 cans shaving cream I have a EASTON 1st baseman's glove that is 2 two years old and still not broken in. I've tried baking the glove, I've used shave cream---but not the overnight in a bucket method. I'm beginning to think it's the quality of LEATHER... Nicks Wilson Glove A2K ( 6 months old ) is as soft as a baby's bottom Rodney

I just finished the method on my 2 little ones gloves. IT DID NOT WORK. The cream never melted. All it did was make a mess and get the wife mad at me.

I read this in Tom Seaver's book when I was 12 and have used it on every glove I've owned since and it works great (and fast). Soak it in water over night, let it dry til it's almost dry then begin playing catch with it. This only works on genuine leather gloves though. I've done this with over a dozen gloves. Works like a charm.
