Thread: Mineral Oil for the Razor Blade

I use Camellia.

I oil after every shave.

I've been considering Mineral oil ( works great as laxative as well ) from WinCo but haven't picked up yet.

Tsukuba is rather pricey but I've read great reviews :Beer:

I switched to Camelia not too long ago from Mineral in the form of Wahl Clipper oil which is Mineral Oil. I like the Camelia better. It seems to hold up better. The mineral oil seems to bead up for some reason, not the Camelia I bought from SRD. I only oil the blades that are in storage awaiting their turn in rotation. It seems a waste to oil a blade only to wipe it off in a few days? I like JimmyHad Idea of wiping down his blades with a gun cleaning cloth available at Wal Mart. Most are silicone based, and would be perfect for that. I collect firearms and use them all the time. Never had a rust problem.
My home is climate controlled 24/7.

I live in Florida. Moisture is a big problem. Mold is the State Plant....

Camila Oil If it is good for 5 figure Japanese Samurai swords it is good for me and I wipe a blade after every use. Couple drops on each side spread with my fingers and put it away.

Rinse the blade with hot water, wipe dry, then use an applicator with Ballistol in it. Every time I shave.

Take Care,
Richard

My dear Don,

What a coincidence: I finally did settle on camellia oil, which I ordered early this evening from Straight Razor Designs.

And gentlemen, thank you all for your thoughts and advice.

Regards,

Obie

I use Camelia oil long term and TUFF GLIDE short term. I never gave baby oil a thought. I have a large bottle in the bathroom closet. Thanks for that thought.

I have not had a rust issue as yet. Knock on wood, huh!
