Thanked: 3Olive Oil to prevent rust on razor?
Would olive oil work as good as any other in preserving a razor from rust? What about vegetable oil?

Olive or vegetable oil should not be used on razors. You can use mineral oil, some people use gun oil or 3 in 1 oil. The olive and the vegetable oil can leave a very sticky residue behind if it is left to sit on the razors.

for long term storage definitely not.
I don;t know what kind of anti-corrosion properties it has, but organic oils do spoil and will turn rancid.

Olive oil leaves a residue and even worse can go rancid...this isn't what you want on your blades.
