Beeswax on clicker dies

[Scriptkrewe]

I was watching a YT video and noticed the guy put something on his clicker die real quick and throw it back in the tray. It looked like a bar of beeswax. So I tried it on some leather that I couldn’t cut with my 1 ton arbor press and it cut it slicker than butter. My question is does anyone else do this?

Yes. I have a large block of wax that I can push the whole die into, at the start and about every 4 or 5 cuts
