I just went and smelled my razors.

I hadn't even given it a thought until you brought it up. they have a slight odor but I am not soaking my daily ones just a light wipe with an oily cloth. I very seldom use anything scented to think about conflicting with it. I like the rule at my work against wearing any sort of perfume.

I live in Florida, the humidity capitol of the world...(and lightning...)
For razors that I have in storage, I use Camelia oil, it works well.
For razors out in rotation, I wipe them down, once dried, with a Silicone treated cloth. The kind you would use on guns, etc...
