Thread: Camellia Oil Becoming Sticky On Blade

I know I'm late to the discussion, but is there any particular reason why no one has mentioned using petroleum jelly? I'm curious why a lighter viscosity oil is preferred? I picked up a tube with a flip-top, and the stuff is designed for skin care so no adverse effects if some manages to get past cleaning before using on your face. A dab on each side of the blade and a swipe with a piece of tp does the trick, and all for $3 for a couple years worth. I simply use another piece of tp to wipe it off and run it under hot water before stropping next. I personally wouldn't want my bathroom smelling like WD40 or gear oil, no matter how good they are at protecting. For another light-weight oil suggestion, how about Marvel Mystery Oil?
