I don't have that kind of strop yet

Because I have been using a Straight Razor for less than a week I only have a board strop so I can learn how to use a strop before I get a hanging one that I can either cut up or kill my razor on.
Maybe I caused water spots by trying to hard to protect it.

Patina or pristine is the users choice. Do what keeps you happy.
I actually didn't know that.
I've been rinsing my face, rubbing with an alum bloc and when my eyes stop watering from the sting I dried my razor, stropped it on my board 15 times slowly and carefully then oil it and leave it open to make sure it dries.
I also get between the scales with TP.
In future I will leave it for a few hours before I oil it.
How often should I oil it.
