Greetings all SRP members,

I started out SR shaving in late February and I now have 2 razors that I use in rotation. I shave every 2-3 days so each razor sees water every 4-6 days. I didn't use oil on the blades as I thought it was not necessary on razors that get frequent use. Last week I noticed a spot on one of my razors so I decided to cover the blade with oil after each use.

My routine is as follows. I rinse the razor and dry with a towel. Strop about 30 passes on denim (sometimes on leather). Cover the blade, including the edge with argan oil. For the next use i clean the blade using toilet paper and strop.

My reasoning for using argan oil is
1. It's always available in the bathroom as I sometimes use it on my skin pre or post shave.
2. It is a natural oil so It's safer that mineral oil in case it comes in contact with nicks or cuts.
3. The razors are frequently used so I don't have to worry about the oil going rancid.

My concern is that by covering the blade with oil at such a short time after using the razor the edge will not be completely dry. I would like to hear from experienced members there thoughts on my razor care routine and suggestions for improvement.
