That's what I used to do. As careful as I was, I was always concerned about cutting myself when drying the blade or slathering on the mineral oil. That's what I like about Utopian's alcohol/oil bath. I use an olive bottle for it. One dip then a wipe on the towel with a stropping motion, a second dip then air dry for a couple of minutes. No danger of slicing my fingers open.

But I could just be more clumsy than everyone else. ;-)
Namaste,
