    I use plain old mineral oil. It works fine.

    I use japanese camellia oil but I know other types of oil are used as well.
    E.g. I know someone who uses the oil used by brass instrument players to oil their instruments.

    The easiest thing I have found to use is baby oil. This is just mineral oil with a scent, and can be found anywhere.

    Can you use camellia oil as shave oil?

    Thank you,

    I use Camellia oil on my razors (when I use oil) but I have never used it as a shave oil. I suppose it would work, although it may be a little thin. On the other hand, it's similar to T&H pre shave oil, so who knows?
