Advice on Edges + Best Edge Wax?

Hey gang, I make wallets with a 1mm veg tan and line them with a 1mm chrome tan garment leather. They look great but since lining them, I find the edges to be a challenge as the chrome liner doesn't burnish like the veg tan body.

I have considered edge paint but I do this for a living (so efficiency is really important) and drying times as well as edge resiliency to wear and cracking have my attention drawn elsewhere.

Currently I make a clean 1.5mm cut off the side of the wallet to get a flush edge, bevel with a 1mm seiwa, sand with 500, water+PVA (thanks Phil), burnish with slicker, open the edge up after the slicking has dried with 1000 grit, dye with black dye x 2, then edge gloss 2 layers.

The edge gloss is SUPER thin which I actually think helps with strength instead of building up on the edge, however, because it doesnt build up, the chrome tanned pores dont get filled up, and the end result is a strong and shiny but less than aesthetically pleasing, and even, edge.

I'm considering playing around with a wax finish instead of the gloss to flatten and even out that edge - but of course this now leads to another problem of WHAT WAX?

Beeswax is great because of its low melting point which allows a lot of flexibility without cracking, but I find it unusable because of how sticky it is and how much lint it picks up from the pocket. The softness is great because it looks good to begin with but doesn't hold up to wear the best.

I've tried Columbus, which looks INCREDIBLY glossy and decently even but because it is such a stiff wax, if you lay on enough to fill the pores, it cracks terribly.

I know I'm probably splitting hairs here but I'm really trying to bring my edges up to 100, and I'm only feeling like an 80.

Any thoughts, suggestions and advice would be appreciated !
