    It really depends on what the length of storage is

    Basically the 1-2 month term is where things change

    Less than that most everything mentioned will work, longer than that then you have to reconsider the WHOLE razor not just the steel

    Oils, grease, many lubes are just NOT designed for long term storage especially when you take the scales into account

    For long term storage look into VCI paper
