Nut lubricants (no X-rated content)

Dry Soap
vs
Pencil lead
vs
Big bends nut sauce
vs
A home made blend of graphite powder, PTFE and Vaseline (which I constituted one jobless afternoon)

The first of those certainly looks to be the neatest - and for example will not discolour a bone nut...

but is any of them superior to the others???

Big Bends nut sauce + toothpick = job done.

I bought a syringe thing of Big Bends Nut Sauce absolutely years ago, literally can't remember when... over a decade though, easily. I'm still only halfway through it

Pencil lead for me.
I don't care if it discolours the nut.

I use Super Lube (with PTFE), and a toothpick!

Chapstick and a toothpick worked well for me

Planet Waves Nut Lube works well for me, better than owt else anyway...

Rabs

Graphite nut.. No lube needed...

Big Bends Nut Sauce.  It works, and one tube lasts forever.

I always put a bit of Chapstick (or similar) in the nut slots when re-stringing.

Big Bends Nut Sauce every time I change strings, on electric and acoustic. No discoloration, and it helps with tuning stability.
