Thread: Gun oil to preserve?

I'm noticing a small amount of rust beginning to develop around the pivot of one of my razors. Can I put a drop of gun oil on it to help prevent it from getting worse? I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on a razor? Or is there a better type of oil to use for this?

Thanks.

Most people here recommend mineral oil, me I use all my gun stuff on razors too, just watch for skin irritation from them....

I don't see why not, I use militec1 on mine to prevent rust, can't recommend it enough!

hopps #9 oil. why not?

Parker Hale gun oil

I use MilTec too. Good stuff.

Get your friendly Q.M. to pilfer you some, it's excellent stuff!

I've never been able to find it, but mparker once told me he uses something called Kano Kriol. Apparently it's wonderful stuff around the pivot and underneath the little plastic shank-condoms that some razors have.

Dont forget Cosmoline for deep storage.

I actually bought an old blade at a flea market that was coated in it.......not a bad preservation.
