Thanked: 2Mineral oil for horn ??
About every 9 months or less I try to treat all of my ivory with mineral oil to keep it from drying out and keeping the stress cracks from shinkage away. Today is the day and I am sitting here watching my ivory scales soaking and noticing that I should be doing something to my horn scaled razors. I read some where that horn can be treated with pure neatsfoot oil - more than likely here on SRP. I question the purity of the neatsfoot oil that I have on hand since it was actually formulated for leather. I am wondering if anyone had used mineral oil on horn scales and what the results were - is mineral oil good for horn like it is for ivory? Thanks!
