I have some of both experiences re. lubricating the escapement. What I usually do is to try it dry... if it runs smoothly (which they do about 75% of the time) I leave it dry, and if it hesitates I apply a small drop of oil just as Mike described, to the shafts of the pallet and the star wheel... and also on the teeth of the star wheel. That's all. And the oil has to be very, very light and thin.
