Saddle soap will definitely dry leather out. I only use it for heavy cleaning. A dab of dawn dish soap in water is what I use on a more regular basis. With a light coat of obenaufs lp. When I need to go heavier I use the saddle soap and a heavier coat of the actual obenaufs oil ( it absorbs into the leather)

I think you should let them completely dry before applying mink oil.
