At $2.99 from Spruce Boelube isn't expensive enough either.

We need some more expen$ive suggestions.

Default Lube

I use the beeswax too.
I assume everyone knows the Boelube stick presses up from the bottom.

I was told that before Boelube was developed the only other lubricant that had the same properties was the fluid from the brains of a certain kind of whale.

That property being that the lube goes toward heat, not away from it, and that is what makes it work so well. Most lubricants will migrate away from the heat where it is needed the most.

OK, I was told this by the guy that sold me the Boelube. I hope it is true as I kind of like the story...
