Yups, this, never overcomplicate a simple matter

To take oil off a blade, I use Dawn dishwasher detergent on a wet sponge. To protect the blade, I use sewing machine oil. It's very light and protects as good as anything. I also place the blade in a silicone sock you can pick up on line. I live in FL and have not had a blade rust using this procedure.

I often wipe the blade between my fingers, and repeatedly wipe my fingers off on my palm. Then I quickly wash my hands. Or not (it's not that much oil).

Thank you everyone for your advice.
