This is a clip of the 2025 World Championship of Shoe Shining, in which three finalists had 20 minutes to shine a pair of Bridlen Straight Tip Oxfords to as close to a mirror-finish as possible. Each was allowed a selection of Saphir Médaille d’Or waxes, brushes, and cloths, and I only wish I could have been there to smell all that polish. Plus enter the competition and won by hiding chrome paint up my sleeve.
