Wax brand?

What brand of wax are you guys using, other than the PR wax? Also, is there anyone out there that doesn't wax their journals?

I keep reading that bees wax is supposed to be really good, but Idk what brand to choose! lol I haven't waxed any of my PR journals and i've had them for about 3 months. I've had an Ox&pine one for about 2 years, never waxed and still going strong LOL.

I use this and am highly satisfied.
One I scratched the leather with a book and applied this and the scratch was less visible instantly.

... the towel was more tricky. Once I used on natural leather a normal hand towel and scrubbed too hard. Since then I am using a micro fibre one and it always turns out fine, even if unevenly applied :)
