The straight that I speak of are my rotation blades. My collection is coated with a different lubricant.

I keep a small jar with mineral oil in at next to the rotation. Aslo a shot glass filled with Q-Tips to dry the inside of the scales & apply the mineral oil.
I take a pair of pliers & squeeze the Q-tip ends, that way they fit in the scales without too much pressure. I squeeze about 30 Q-tips every month & a half. This takes about 5 minutes. Then put them in the shot glass. I wipe my straight dry, Q-tip the inside of the straight,,flip the Q-tip over & drop the dry tip in the little bottle,,,, strop my razor,,,, coat the blade in mineral oil,,, then roll the straight in the handkerchief.

From the moment I wipe the lather off the straight & roll it, it takes less than a minute to complete the above process.
