    I apply baby oil with a q-tip, then it goes on my brush-razor stand

    After being in a rush one evening, I put my razor away thinking it was completely dry. Well the next day spots of rust appeared on it, needless to say I now use food grade mineral oil on it, after shaving and stropping. It then goes back in its case outside the bathroom.

    After shaving i rinse my blade in hot water, wipe it dry and leave it open all day while im at work. When i get home from work i put a very light coating of baby oil on it, close it up and but it in its box (if i have one). Then i pull my razor out i plan on using the next day, and start the process all over again.

    I also do 15 passes on linen/latigo right after wiping the blade off.

    Interesting question, since my wife just handed me an odd item... A "flower frog" she called it. So, for now, for $3.50 I'm putting my razors in a device made to hold flowers, and submerged in water.

    Before putting them there, after a shave... clean and dry and coat with mineral oil.

    I have a shelf in my closet that I leave my razors on. I clean and dry them after use, then leave them open overnight to dry. close them up in the am and repeat with the next one.

    I store them in the very nice box GibII made me. That is... after a light stropping on linen and then the leather.

    I dry mine with toilet paper and apply a coating of silicone spray and store them in a drawer. Easy, practical and safe.
