As far as I am aware WD40 makes conditions for rust.
It leaves the surface dry and oil free or leaves a very thin weak coat.
Over the years I have bought numerous Hart Steel razors . Each razor comes with a bottle of oil, ill never run out of blade oil but I only oil a blade if I have just restored it.
If a razor is allowed to dry and not kept in say a bathroom, no rust should form.Last edited by JOB15; 02-26-2016 at 07:13 PM.

WD-40 is almost worthless in my personal opinion.

I use cutting board oil on mine. I haven't had any problems with it yet and I don't have to worry about putting something harsh on my blade (or my skin). Cutting board oil is obviously food safe and it seems to do the trick.

Ballistol is great. Rem Oil does a good job as well, but Ballistol is known to be wood friendly, hence easier on scales.

Before I was using camellia oil, but I have now switched over to using Ballistol since I feel like it offers longer-term protection compared to the camellia oil
