Oil beads up on the blade
I have been using mineral oil after every shave. When I apply it, it sorta smears all over. After some time, when I look at the blade I see that the oil sorta beads up on the blade. Is that typical? Is the whole blade kept covered even tho I see these droplets?
Oil beads up on the blade
I use mineral oil (baby oil) on a folded tissue after I've shaved, stropped a few and wiped it down. Just a few drops on the tissue and making sure to coat the steel. When I use it again, I just wipe off the blade and strop. Have not had a problem with any access oil. (I polish with MAAS, too.) Hope that helps.

I would look at the strop, maybe there is some "waxy" substance that is causing the oil to beat. Just a thought. Double O

Not that I would say that any of mine were "highly polished"; but I've been palm Stropping with a little Vaseline of late before i put the blade away for the nite. It seems to work very well.
