Ballistol and INOX sound like they might be very similar products.

I've used wd40 with no problems.. Just wash off before use
Nooooooooooo! There is something common that one learns in a chemistry class. "Likes dissolve likes" WD40 is a carbon based solvent (all petroleum products are carbon based). Plastic is made from petroleum, more or less.
Camilla oil is good and most of the products listed here are good ones also. I personally mix Camilla and Ballistol but that is just my twist on it.

Camillia oil is good , but not for long term storage as it breaks down over time and gets gummy.
Wish we could get Eucalyptus oil readily over here. I hear from the Oz's that it's great stuff.....which does lead me to a thought. I wonder how Melaluca oil would fare ??????
Now I was thinking, and I'll have to go downstairs to my workshop to confirm it for myself I suppose, that WD40, was in fact, fish oil based. So am I wrong, and it really is a petroleum based product?
I just went and checked out the blurb on the INOX bottle to see what it said about itself, but there is no ingredients list on the bottle. It does say 'Food Grade Safe' and 'May affect rubber with long term use' so for you blokes thinking of adding more lube to your...Well you shouldn't re-use those things no matter how well you rinse them afterwards anyway, so I'll not go there. :)

SublimeShave,
If you have a small rotation of 2-3 razors or oil your daily use razor, WD-40 will work just fine and will not harm the scales. If your razor is not to be used for a while (3+days), I would recommend another type "oil".
