I have limited experience in preserving straight razors, new to the game. Mine are rotated each night with a thick coat of mineral oil on each after shave.
But;
I do live in Florida and have to preserve firearms with different types/ages of steel for long peroids of time. I use the Renaissance wax on occassion. I completely clean and dry the surface, small amount of Renaissance wax to "seal" the surface, so to speak. Take photos, then light coat of "BreakFree", then store. No problems with any of them; after 6 month inspection.
I have done the same process on most of my weapons , skipping the Renaissance wax. Using a thick coat of Break Free, only.
My best result on long term storage, five years without inspection, was with the weapon "coated" with the lubrication "Rigg". No surface problems.
You can Rig the razors and place them in a silicone pistol "Sock" for storage.
Just my thoughts, hope this helps.
P.S.- Renaissance wax can usually be found at furniture/wood working refinishing stores. It's not cheap.Last edited by Hirlau; 04-25-2011 at 03:49 PM.
