No some leather won't burnish, it's not just you. I'm not a pro at thus stuff either. Like chromexcel you can get a decent burnish on. But when I've used crazy horse and similar leather I just edge koted it instead. So it really depends on the leather.

And the edge kote is more like painting the edges, it has a color to it.

That’s good. I use lots of different colours.

Ok thanks. I’ll pick up some Edge Kote then and see if I can work it with that.
