"The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item. Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a creature requires its bearer to make a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item."
So let's say the target fails his saving throw and drops his item. Next turn, he makes the save to pick it up. Does he have to make another save to try to use it? Or is the "saving throw made in each round" for both of those things?

I would say that he makes one saving throw per round ("each round").

One per round. If he has dropped it and then picks it up, he could then use it that round without a second save.
A fun tactic my kid came up with when she was first starting to play was greasing a weapon, then mage handing it away. Only works with non-magical items weighing less than five pounds, but a fun low level tactic nonetheless.
