You can also use castor oil or get some camellia from www.bessermesser.de
It is really good.
I use motor oil on the pivot area. I always seem to get water in there and it worries me. I recently rescaled a razor and there was no corrosion there at all, so either I shouldn't have worried in the first place or my motor oil is doing the job.
I use olive oil on the blade itself, figuring I don't want to get motor oil on newly shaved skin. I'm sure it doesn't really matter but I happened to have a bottle of it handy when I first thought about oiling razors so I have stuck with it. Stops rust just fine.
I use air tool oil....it works great. Thin enough for oil hones too. Rem Oil for guns would also work great on the blade/pivot it coats real even but cost way more.
Air tool Oil.... - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices
Ballistol is good - lots of stockists in Germany and EU. You don't have to bother getting it all of, either - like camellia, it is skin-friendly. It is thinner than camellia (which I used to use) and flows a lot better.
