To me, the oil is cheap insurance.

What kind of oil? Well in my opinion, I would stay away from anything with petroleum base or distillate. I recall reading posts from members using 3 In 1 Oil, I don't think that is very good for your skin. The same applies to WD-40, it has petroleum distillates too. Both can burn or irritate some skin types. I suggest you use a natural or organic oil. Some shavers like to use olive oil, Camellia oil (that's what I use), cooking oil, mineral oil, and I know a couple guys who use Renaissance Wax to protect their razors. We have a poster in this thread who uses Chamomile oil, great idea!
I think I am going to purchase some Camellia oil; I'm going to see if I can't pick it up somewhere here in the STL area. Thanks for the advice!
