    so far i've just applied it to my razors after i've finished the restoration or when they are new to me. They are in a sort of rotation so they aren't used daily. i suppose i could use it more often but i haven't had any rust problems. i'm also careful to keep them dry during use and dry them thoroughly after.

    When I had only a few razors they would always get a coatafter use. They still do but things have changed quite a bit. Typically a razor is in rotation for around a week and I have way more. I do not redcoat was hem until they are getting put away.

    I do coat every razor with Renaissance wax following every shave and post shave stropping. I do not feel it is absolutely necessary but it can't hurt. I feel more comfortable knowing that the steel is protected. I also use it on the scales intermittently.

    I don't use it daily, but when I get in a razor that has any pitting, I use a fiberglass brush to clean the pits then apply Ren Wax to the pitted areas. I use bicycle chain wax for pivot lube if needed.

    Cheers, Steve

    I wouldn't use it near razors with celluloid or plastic scales because it does contain a white spirit, OK for use on metal or wood, my prefered protection is 3M Silicone spray, petroleum neutral can be used all all metals and plastics, I use this on all my razors and scales.

    Interesting but was looking for info on Ren Wax. I use this as a rule: MX3FG Lubricant "Food Grade" - Inox Lubricants
