Prior to that, I would put some on the blade and pivot, came recommended from Classic Edge Shaving, and I've never had any issue with it...simply wipe rinse if off and you're fine. It's a mineral oil, as opposed to a carbon based oil, which can be bad for carbon based blades, "like dissolves like", type of thing.
Mineral oil is a carbon based oil.

I have heard of "like dissolves like" but I don't know how a carbon based oil could pull carbon out of steel. Is there any evidence of that? To be clear, I'm not challenging the suggestion, I'd just like to understand it.
