Thanks Jeff,

Some oils are water displacing. That is what the WD in WD-40 stands for. These oils will get between the water and the steel displacing the water. Most simple oils like mineral oil or 3in1 float on top of water and water base liquids trapping them against the steel. That's why it is so important to make sure the steel is completely dry before you oil it. If it is not dry and you oil it whatever moisture is there will be trapped.

Most WD oils I know if are pretty funky compounds and need a solvent to completely remove them. There probably not the kind of stuff you would want to use on a razor.

JMHO,

Ray
