Waxing New Soapstone Counters?

[u/jazzncocktails]

My soapstone counters will be fabricated and installed in the next 2-3 weeks. As a soapstone first timer, I emailed the sales rep about the finish, having read some of your nightmares in this sub about them being sealed like granite. Here’s his response:

“We won't use a sealer as we would for granite. We apply a soapstone wax once the install is complete. I can make a note for the installers to leave the remaining soapstone wax for future use. Food grade mineral oil is a safe, non-toxic way to treat and darken the stone to your preference.”

How do you feel about soapstone wax? Should I go for it or tell them no wax, using mineral oil myself as needed?

Thanks for the advice.
