I actually had to use metal polish to remove the stains from some razors. The advise that led to me try camellia oil I now consider bad advice and don't recommend anyone using it. I now prefer just wiping with a new silicon cloth but I understand a good quality oil that IS NOT a fruit or vegetable product should also work.
DITTO !!!! I find that mineral oil or a good gun oil is fine. People advise against WD 40, but I see nothing wrong with it. I've used it on fine shotguns for years. Dont forget what the brand stands for------ WD= water displacement. Very Best, John
