Somehow, I like the patina on my brass Karve CB. I would like to keep my previously-antiqued brass Blackbird/Charcoal Goods and bronze Timeless razors pristine. I have been known to slop shaving lather and H2O on just about everything.
I’m going try this mysterious wax.
Thank you for all the feedback.
Much appreciated.

I’ve been using it for quite a long time on all kinds of things. On the shaving side of things it’s used on razors, brush handles, any soap container labels that feel like they’re at risk from water exposure, and all kind of other items. Purchase price felt a little steep when I bought my first tin, but the minuscule amount that needs to be used per application along with the longevity of each application makes it a very economical product. Keep in mind it’s not a cleaning or abrasive wax at all. What you see on the item before use is what you’ll see after use. Any polishing you want will need to be completed via another product first. Also, be sure you have a nice wide opening window near by during use.

Excellent advice, thank you!
Do I apply it with a microfiber cloth? Apply it, let it dry and wipe off the haze? Like car wax?

I’ve used about every type of cloth I have, but I’m with SCOV in finding t-shirt strips to work the best. Seems like any texture found in the cloth leaves a noticeable (just barely) imprint in the wax that’s difficult to remove without applying a fresh coat. I apply with a strip of t-shirt doubled up and pulled taught around a finger tip, buff the product in well, flip to a dry portion of cloth and continue buffing. It dries (flashes is maybe a better word) relatively quickly and I find if you continuously buff while it flashes rather that letting it sit it’s much easier to avoid using too much. That’s the way I like to use it, but not the only way by any means.
