Glen; (GSSIXGUN) sends all of his restored/honed razors back to the owner with a light coat of WD-40.

He includes a paper telling the owner what stone was used to finish the edge. This paper also states that the razor was lightly coated with WD-40 and also how to use the razor the first time. The instructions also include how to strop it to keep it up to par after the first shave! While he doesn't mention WD-40 in particular, he does tell the owner that a buffed/restored razor has 'fresh' steel and that it's prone to oxidization and that it should be kept oiled for at least 1 month!

I used WD-40 on my great grandfather's W&B for several months, then I switched to Ballistol.
