Thread: persevere the work done

Well i have been working on an old razor for the past two weeks now. I had some work to do, so i had not worked on it for 3 days. but today there was new rust forming, not aggressive, i was able to use my nail to get it off. Should i cover the razor with like olive oil or some oil when i don't work on it for a while

you can use a cooking oil, sure. also camellia oil is what many people choose to cover their blades with when they are in storage. I have also used wd-40, and it seems to work as well.

Smear on a thin coat of Vaseline....works for me.

I use 3 in 1 or wd40

Ballistol is very good too. If you want to make it easy you can get a japanese tsubo (a little bottle with a felt tip that makes it very easy to apply the oil on to the razor).

You can use the cooking oil if you don't leave it on till it goes rancid. Also, some cooking oils are a little acidic. The other options above may be a little better but if it is only a few days olive oil is better than nothing.
