Much appreciated guys! This is all very helpful. Definitely need to not keep storing it in the bathroom, as well as let it air dry before applying oil. I'll try switching to using TP instead of paper towel, paper towel seems a little harsh and hard to control due to size and its a bit stiffer. I've been stropping and then applying the oil, but I think you are right, may still be some moisture there that I'm just smearing around with the light application of oil. Think I might get a little storage tray in the bedroom and a bag of desiccant as well, on top of the little tips you guys have given me.
