So, when i put the mineral oil on after shaving, and clean up I VERY gently wipe some oil with a square of toilet paper soaked with it, to near the edge. Then I wipe a little on the honed edge with my finger tip. Is that bad for the edge? Probably. Do people just drip a little on there with a smaller bottle, as to not ever touch it? I was super gentle, but these things seem so delicate.

It sounds easy to mess up the edge of a razor. Should I then remove the oil with just hot water before stropping, so the edge isn't being touched by anything, and not getting oil on the strop?

I was trying to look around for this, but didn't see it.
