Hi folks,

I notice on my "old" razor (which is about 2 years old) although it isn't rusty it has dark blemishes on the blade (though nowhere near the edge).

I bought a new one lately and would like to prevent this.

I soaked a lens cloth in 3-in-1 oil and then wrung it out and I'm planning to wipe the razor down after shaving with it, I figure this will prevent rust and may somehow preserve the edge a bit.

My problem is that I'm wondering how much of a pain in the ass it'll be to make sure I don't end up building up too much oil on my strop. I'll wipe it off with a tissue before stropping obviously (I only shave twice a week), but I wonder if it's a mistake...?

Cheers,
Rich
