[Help Thread] Lubrication Thread

I ordered a 55mm Zhanchi from puzzle addictions, stickered and assembled. The cube showed up SO SMOOTH. The tensions are perfect, and while I've never used Izo lube in other cubes, I see no reason to need to re-lube it any time soon. He also did an incredible job stickering the cube, the Izo stickers for 55mm seem to be 57mm stickers cut at the corners according to whether it's an edge, corner or center piece in order to fit the smaller cubies. The result looks pretty darn nice. It's not my main because I prefer the regular size, but it's my smoothest cube by far.
 
Best Lubricant for Rubiks Cube on Ebay?

I can't seem to find 1 main Lubricant to use for my Dayans cube, can someone link me one from ebay that is very good and isn't over 15 bucks? If you can, see if there is any in Australia available! Really need this soon!
 
Does it have to be from ebay?

Some good choices are

- Calvin Lube (hknowstore.com)
- Lubix Lube (lubixcube.com)
- Izo Lube (puzzleaddictions.com)

Each of these cites accept paypal.
 
The cost is in the assembly bit, that is $1. Takes the most time, it's a very decent price that $1.

Assemble & do NOT lube + $1.00
Assemble & Lube + $1.00

They are both the same, so.. if you are spending the extra dollar to have it assembled, and you don't have proper lube, or lube that you prefer, then I say have it lubed as well. :) As said: Izolube is good lube, I used it on my cubies in the past (switched to 10k traxxas since then, which IMHO is still heavier than Izo).

The corner off the stickers is a standard thing that also comes on the Dayan 55mm stickers themselves, not just Izo's. It is a very nice look indeed!

Nexus7 = value for money

Tiny amount of "special" cube lube in a fancy syringe = waste of money

Lifetime supply of identical silicone diff oil from a model shop for half the price = value for money
 
BTW...I am a student I don't work,I got my nexus 7 as a gift....and good lubes cost about $10...its a lot of money for me so if you think I can afford good lube....you're damn wrong
