I have been reading in other threads that applying a little "Mineral Oil" to the blade as a finishing step is a good idea to prevent rust and other problems.

My issue is that I can't find it in Australia by that name. I assume that this is just another one of those faucet/tap, petrol/gas type translation issues.

My best guess is either what we in Australia call paraffin (although this may be different to paraffin in the US).

Any help with translations would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, any pointers to a suitable replacement available in Australia would be great too.

Cheers,

Scott

p.s. Once I collate this (and other answers), I am planning to put up an Australian product FAQ.
