Personally I would be nervous using WD40 on razors with goldwash, and I doubt scales made with vulcanite (rubber), celluloid, wood, ivory etc would benefit from it either.
Renwax on the other hand was designed to be used on all of these materials and much more without harm over extended periods of time.

I am sure silicone spray, WD40 and others will work very well in protecting against oxidation in the pivot pin area.
I can apply renwax once in the same way and not worry about rust with normal use without a worry for quite some time.
I have read online that renwax has/is being used to protect valuable statues in parks against the elements and more critically against the acids found in bird poo, how true this is I cannot say.
Having said this I have not left a razor out in the rain for one month!!

For years now I have been using Russells no rust which is a thick silicon goop made specially for knives and guns. It's the best I've found for long term storage. It goes on and stays on. For short term I just use Sterol.
