I walked into the store and got this.

Applicator for Camellia Oil - The Japan Woodworker Catalog

This is just an idea. I see above that SDR carries one exactly like it. Japanese are really big on Camellia Oil which I like also. The reason that I use Corrosion X is that it is not toxic, actually bonds with the metal, and displaces water. I have been using this stuff for over a decade on many things. It keeps rust from forming because it sets up a high dielectric barrier that keeps the metal from rusting. I have never had a razor rust, discolor, or otherwise get funky with a coating applied. It is wise to coat all your razors every six months and don't forget the hinges.


It is also an excellent lubricant and I use it on all my fire arms. A word of warning when using on an automatic pistols, for instance, because it is such a good lubricant your weapon will not break in. Put at least 10K rounds through a pistol before using this as a lubricant.


Take Care,
