I let
it cut?into a block of parafin, so as to lube both sides.? Works well,
but be careful!

When you lube with wax, how do
you do it - just press it against the
blase while its running, let it cut
through it, rub it on while it's not
running, ...???? I ask 'cuz I
just press the tube against the blade
while it's running, but if there's
better ways, I'm
open.
