    Wipe it off immediately or it is more difficult to remove.

    The instructions say to apply "sparingly and buff gently". It will leave a protective coating after you buff it.

    Hard to buff the edge but I wonder if giving a linen strop a pasting with the wax would work ?

    Used renwax regularly on all Blades, recently started using camellia oil but found in long term storage the oil gets thick
    And I like the RenWax a lot better for long terms, I coat with enough wax to cover completely them buff by hand and strop on my back up strop to clean the edge

    Yeah, I found Camellia is something that needs to be refreshed as a rule.

    yeh the camelia is great for short term storage, like a daily user maybe, not that i have adaily user, but RenWax is still the best for long-term for me on all materials
