I don't think that it is necessary to oil it at all, if you use it every day and let it air dry. If I were to oil my blade I would definitly oil the edge since that is the part I'm using to cut with, I would want it to be rust free.
I always strop after the shave for 20 or 30 round trips and then wipe the blade with a silicone gun cloth impregnated with a rust preventative and then put the razor in a drawer. I kind of stay away from the cutting edge when I wipe it figuring that the stropping will have gotten any moisture or micro gunk out of the edge. YMMV.
