Graphite isn’t identical and the “solvent“ carrier is not the same either.

Both use colloidal Graphite, but it appears that some of the other additives are different. I will, personally, just stick with Lock-ease, probably from years of old habit.

IMO, lock ease works better in the bore cracks and neo works better in case necks. Personal preference I guess

Thank you that's what Iam looking for.

The Lock Ease is designed to penetrate capillary gaps to "carry in" the graphite. (Stoddard solvent)
The Neolube is designed to produce a coating of graphite when dry. (2-propanol)
The Lock Ease is a wide distribution of sizes of ground graphite powder.
The Neolube is a narrow distribution of screened sub micron particle size.

They are designed different, but in the end they are similar in our use.
