Rust Prevention?

Here's an interesting article on rust preventatives. The tests were done on identical pieces of steel that were contaminated with, among other things, "salts". Corrosion Prevention - Second Round

I suspect a clean surface, like a well cleaned (with alcohol?) razor, might rust a bit slower. (Assuming I always get all my "salty" fingerprints off.)

Of the three front runners in the test, Ballistol seems to be the most human-friendly; in terms of entering through a cut or pores...

I think I'll retire my usual mineral oil and try the Ballistol out for 6 months or so.

Even better, when my local humidity gets high again this summer; I will:

Chemically degrease an old beater.
Run my fingers over my somewhat greasy forehead...
Place fingerprints on both sides af the razor.
Apply Mineral oil, Ballistol, and Olive oil to different areas of the razor.

To be continued...

P.S.
One supply source: The World's Most Use-ful & Environmentally Friendly Lubricant
And a quote from that site: "Millions of users have experimented with BALLISTOL and found new surprising applications for it, some of which reach into field of veterinary and even human medicine."

Edit: a forum search for "ballistol" turned up quite a few hits, including these two urls: http://straightrazorpalace.com/gener...html#post37687 http://straightrazorpalace.com/newbi...html#post45108
