When I first joined this forum back in January or so, it was suggested to me to oil my steel kit with mineral oil. This was fine when I only had a helmet, however now I have a segmentata cuirass, and two helmets, using mineral oil is a pain, especially that I have to avoid getting the mineral on leather (which I'm sure it does anyways).
Whenever I wear the kit, I either have to wipe off the oil or just bear with it and have people who help me with it or come in contact with/touch it tell me its greasy (actually even after I wipe it off there is still some residue of oil).
I heard car wax may have some acids that may cause damage in the long term, and Crispus I believe said he used pig fat? I may be mistaken. What do you recommend/use? Thanks
