Thread: Daily Straight Razor Maintenance

I always wipe it dry and leave it out in a safe location for a while. If I'm in my razor rotation mood I'll coat with some sterol and put it away. If I'm using the same blade several days in a row I'll just leave it out without the oil. Of course I leave in a single digit humidity area.

i have a couple questions as i've always oiled mine after use,first up is there anything you can put on the pivot area of the blade before repinning that will give lasting protection i was thinking of blue wonder's armadillo?? and does the alcohol/oil mix have any effects on the scale materials especially ivory and horn??
