I thought I was drying my razors pretty well, until I started finding rust collecting where some of the
blades touch the scales, so I'm looking for some oil solutions.
Coincidentally, I just got a razor from David (beautiful Böker, thanks again, David) which was
covered with Camilla oil when it arrived. I rinsed and shaved and had no problems. As I understand
these posts, oils of all kinds will wash off with water and soaking say monthly perhaps might be
an alternative to daily coats.
Has anyone got experience with Tuf-Glide? Ray's site dscribes it as "a powerful, quick-drying
rust inhibitor and lubricant. It applies a fast drying, water displacing Micro-Bonding
Crystal Barrier against rust, friction, and wear. Won't wash off or attract and hold dust and dirt
like oil-based products and it won't leave a slippery film like silicones.". Sounds like a good thing to me.
Also, is there an alergenic or otherwise argument toward organic oils, vegetable or perhaps at least
the mineral oils mentioned? I've got to know or I'll obsess over this for weeks before making
the wrong decision. :wink:
