Thread: How often do others oil the blade to prevent rust?

buddyjason,

+1 on the Sentry Solutions Tuf-Glide

I use it after every shave, and also on the blades I have in my rotation to protect them during storage.

It is a dry-film protectant, and you don't need to remove it before stropping.

Always let your razor dry thoroughly before you use a protectant on the blade !! After shaving, I rinse my blades with very hot water, dry, strop and then let sit for an hour. That way I know that all the blade (including the edge) is nice and dry.

Have fun !

Best regards

I never thought of using Tuf-Glide even though I use it on all my guns. I have all there lubricant products and it is top of the line gun care lubes. There is even a cloth that you can get that is coated in their lubricant so you can just rub that on the blade.

I use it after every shave. I use an applicator. If you don't oil it...you would probably be ok. It is just cheap insurance because one day you will get a nice little spot on your expensive Robert Williams razor and you WILL be PO'ed at yourself.



Good applicator and keeps your hands away from the edge. I got mine from Japan Woodworkers but I would think any good Japanese knife store will have them.
