(Mineral oil or woodblock oil is fine.) It uses double-edge razor blades, which are replaceable, cheap and available at most supermarkets or drugstores. I like the look & feel of the handle, though you must remember that it will need to be oiled on occasion. I have had this bread lame for about 8 months & use it regularly. Still glad I bought it and although it cost four times the price of others of similar design, it was worth it. I like it for the design and the fact that it's not made in China, but I really expected better finish work from the handsome gentleman in the photo. It fits for storage into the wooden box if you put it on an angle, then you can slide the wooden cover back on, which is nice. Kind of an odd angle, but it works and stays in. The instructions are odd and I actually removed the thumb screws completely and then inserted the blade. It had some sticker under it which is why it wouldn't slide off and back on again. What if I needed to return it? I couldn't put the paper label back on, so I would be stuck. I must say that the paper label on the box was hard to remove and I finally had to slit it, whereas I first thought I could slide it off. They did polish up beautifully, though and now look like shiny gold. I took it all apart and used brass polish on the decorative piece and thumb screws because they were so tarnished, they hardly looked like brass. There are rough edges where the hole is drilled into the bottom of the handle, which I don't think I can fix unless I sand and re-stain it. However, I did expect a little better finishing of the wood. It's my first baker's lame and I bought it because it's made in the USA and handmade, plus it's beautiful.
