Something to consider. I have noticed that when i have a razor with a highly polished blade one that has a mirror finish that the mineral oil i use seems to just puddle up. kind of like water on a waxed car leaving areas of the metal with no protection. that's why on the razors i store for any long period of time i use R. I. G. A grease like anti-rust grease. just an observation on some of my razors.
