dry well after use and store it in a cigar box with several silica gel bags.

Jeez Hirlau. How much can a Koala bear ?

I end by Palm Stropping with Vaseline. Just a little rubbed into your palm and you're set go.

One drop of Hoppes gun oil on a toilet tissue. Wipe the dry razor and "forget about it"

I've been using it ever since I started June 11 and never used anything else. My razors don't have any rust or marks (unless I put them there ). Could just be coincidence but it does seem to work...

That's a good test run Carl. I only asked because I've seen people have dramas with non specific use oil in the past.

Yes, I guess it's a bit odd :-)

This is the thread that came to mind.
Just in case someone's considering experimenting. Don't try Soy oil.

I use Renaissance wax. No rust issues at all. When I store a razor, I use WD-40. Works well, removed easy and has a long history of keeping items rust free.
