I'm no chemist, and don't know what the differences in oils are, but I've had very good luck soaking horn scales in warm mineral oil.

There are 2 kinds of neatsfoot oil sold. I wouldn't soak anything in the 1 with petroleum additives.
If you feel you must, just a wipe is all it needs for maintenance. I understand the reason for the soakers method I just don't think it's necessary.
I am in Mike's camp but I know restoring is not for everyone.

I just noticed this crack , what would be the best way of dealing with it, its its together, and the pivot still functions I woul assume its just need to be hyrated ? correc or am i worng ?
this what my bottles says :Neatsfoot Oil Combination Of Natural & Synthetic Oils Used By Saddlemakers & Bootmakers To Soften Preserve & Waterproof Smooth Leathers It Lubricates The Fibers Which Restores Suppleness Great For Use On Outdoor Leather Gear Such As Boots & Baseball Gloves.
-- Not alot of help, but tetroleum additives?
Mine just says "100% neetsfoot oil"
You may have some other problems at that pivot pin in addition to the crack. On the subject of oil I believe if you are not going to unpin the razor you do not want to get any oil near the pivot pin....
That could be a crack, or possibly delamination. IF you are going to dribble some CA in there, do it BEFORE you apply the neetsfoot. Otherwise whoever won't get the CA to stick whatsoever.
