Do you use paraffin or bee's wax on your saws when using them?

I'm curious. I've been working some cherry wood that really binds when sawing with my LN saws. I find that paraffin on the teeth prevents that. I apply it to the soles of my planes as well.

I've known for years that sawyers sometimes did this, but it seems to me that a proper set on the teeth would be a better solution. I will say the
paraffin is a quicker solution, but I'm concerned if remnants of the wax could create issues when applying finishes.
