If you let Paragon dry on a towel and then hand buff with it, you can use it on smooth, rustic, and blasts with no residue in the crevices.

With all due respect; I'm not of the carnauba crowd. To each his own.

First a drop of recorder oil, then Renaissance Wax . if memory serves me correctly the melting point is HIGHER than Paragon/

Halcyon . Or an extra drop of the good old recorder oil and no wax at all . The carnauba wax in tiny jars from Walker Briar Works works fine too, nice silk gloss.

Their deoxidizer sucks .

Quite new and amazing : Mark Hoover's mysterious before & After restoration balm, does it all . Cleans the briar and gives it a perfect sophisticated lustre. Evens out and enlivens faded stain.

Horse hair and some elbow grease bring briar ( any wood ) to a wonderful, natural looking gloss.

What do you think about Decatur Pipe Shield No-Buff Wax? Is it good only for pipe renewal or also for first-time waxing?
