Also I,m more fond of rem oil I always have some around for the guns ,, but mineral oil , I haven't ever had and issue finding it , and as said its just unscented baby oil that's abundant everywhere.

Since you're putting the stuff on your blade, I'd expect that you might want food grade mineral oil. You can get food grade at a kitchen supply. It's used on wooden cutting boards, utensils, etc.
If you're good with non-food grade, isn't baby oil mineral oil? I think fragrances are added to baby oil, but they might have unscented.

The Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil MSDS says it it low viscosity mineral oil + fragrance. I rubbed it on all my babies and none of 'em ever rusted.
