I saw an ad for this in the latest FWW anyone have experience using this? I use a lot of their wax. Sounds like it’s a penetrating oil with wax so is this just an expensive blend of two things I can get much cheaper? Thanks

Never used Briwax, but no, it will be different.
Hard wax oils (I use Osmo) have a very hard wax in a solvent - it sets rock hard if you leave a dish of it out.
I have not tested it, but it seems to be at least as hard as polyurethane, just thinner by far.
I am in love with the Osmo product - it gives a wonderful look and feel to any project and is dead easy to apply well. Just rub in with a grey scotchbrite pad and buff off any excess well. If you notice some bad sanding or swirls, just fix and re-finish - no seams will be visible.
