I must confess, fellas, under very desperate circumstances, I have resorted to WD-40. Even Vaseline. The former evaporates too quickly for the shinai to really absorb the lubricant while the latter stays on like jelly for weeks...

It all depends on the climate in where you live...in most East Asian places you hardly to have oil your shinai...ever. Not even in the winter time. When I was living in NYC - oiling, sanding, and shaving shinai were almost a daily chore...
