From the context, I can guess, but to be sure, what do "worry" and "cruft" mean? I searched, but couldn't find an answer.

As far as I know, worry and cruft are common use words in the UK. Worry as in "strop with a razor you are not concerned with, to test the strop first, just in case".

cruft = crud... dirt.... pocket lint etc.

And yes, it appears you may have been a bit heavy with the oils, which would cause excessive draw.... just a few drops is all it needs normally.
