That's a good tip, Thanks for sharing. The razors in my current rotation do not get oiled daily. If they're gettting put up for an extended period. I wipe the blade only with a light coat of Camellia oil. Most scales do not require any oil on them. The most I would do is wipe them with a silicone treated cloth, the kind you use on guns.
