Thread: Gun oil on a Razor?

I have a steady supply of Hoppes No.9 Gun Oil.

Seems like there wouldn't be any harm in using it for long term razor storage.

Any opinions on this?

I have a very small bottle of RemOil I keep next to my microfiber cloth for razors going away for a few weeks ,, but I als o use tiff glide wipes to Tc

I use Ballistol, it's been in use in Europe for about 100 years. It's my understanding that most of the hunting lodges over there smell like it! I like the smell and it rinses off very easily. I've sent razors back to the above (tcrideshd) with it on his very nice blades.

If it is Hoppes oil I'd say it should be fine. If it is Hoppes Nitro Solvent I'd look elsewhere. I love the smell of HNS, but I was taught to clean that off the firearm & oil it afterwards. Might be too much of a good thing.

My favorite is R.I.G. (rust inhibiting grease) put out by Birchwood Casey nowadays.

Yeah its the oil. The solvent i just use for cologne.

I've used Remoil on razors and everything else for a long time.

I use Barricade or Ballistol

Any mineral oil should do no ?

I use Hoppes' #9. Works great for me.
