I really want to try this stuff

Bag Balm is still readily available at any farm store, btw. Like Orvus (the equine soap used by many to wash needlework) and Mane n' Tail (the equine shampoo used by many young girls to wash their hair), Bag Balm is easy to find and costs less at stores like Agway, TSC, or Southern States Cooperative.
