Thread: Need help

I use the light 3 in 1 machine oil on a make-up removal pad (SWMBO hasn't noticed yet...hehehe)
Obviously, you fold the pad over the SPINE of the blade

Mineral oil, Eucalyptus oil, or even thin coat of Vaseline on a cue tip.

I appreciate the help guys.I'm going with the mineral because it seems easy enough and I'm a novice and the mineral oil should suffice and I only have 5 razors in my rotation....as always thanks guys

Hey Sean,
Mineral oil works well, but it does tend to not stay evenly spread on the metal, especially if it's highly polished. It tends to bead up and collect in little pools. Some have had success mixing a small amount of bees wax in the oil. Here's a thread that tells about it. The pertinent posts are the first and last. http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...revention.html I started to use it once, but had trouble finding bees wax. By the time my wife found it at a health food store I had bought the Renissance Wax. I now have a brick of bees wax so if you decide to try it and can't find bees wax, PM me with an address and I'll cut a chunk off and send it to you.

Regards,
Howard

The number one rule is to make sure your razor is clean & dry before you apply anything.
If you don't then you will simply trap the moisture underneath and that causes rusting to start.

+1 to randydance on that one.

If all else fails, Howard, you could use it to treat wooden scales

Hey Havachat
Yeah, never thought of that. We used to keep bees and my wife used it for something or other in her soap making and other adventures, but so far, it sets, and I RenWax! But, if any one needs some bees wax, I'll share!!

Howard

@ Howard...I appreciate that and I'll keep that in mind....i just might do that
