After I shave, I use an incredibly soft, lint-free baby diaper to dry my razor blade off. I let the razor air-dry during the rest of my clean-up. Then, using my finger, I gently apply camellia oil (purchased from SRD, so we know it's not the oil) to the razor blade. I've noticed that despite getting a nice, even coat of oil on the blade, w/in a few minutes the oil coat is not uniform. If I take my finger and even it out, w/in a few minutes it again is not uniform. (The oil is not beading-up like there is water left on the blade.)
If you go to my page and look at my photos, you can get the sense of what I'm saying - the light doesn't reflect uniformly from the blade in the pictures.
Am I using too much oil? Does it matter?
