    I know I'm kind of a beginner but I have waged war with rust for many years on my guns and knives and to my knowledge the best way to prohibit the onset of metal cancer is a $5 oil impregnated gun cloth. I figure if its good enough for my guns its good enough for my razors.

    Agreed!

    Ever since I found these silicone impregnated razor socks (which are re-purposed gun socks), that's where my razors live after a thorough drying and a dot of Tuf-Glide on the pivot area.

    Where would a fellow purchase a few of those? I have put a drop of hoppes gun oil on my pivot to keep it young.

    Quite a few members and some other buds I know simply bought a sock for a long gun and cut it down and had them sewn to fit.

    I got mine from Mens Essentials...there's one in the States,

    Grooming, Shaving, Skin Care, Lifestyle - MenEssentials

    And I get them from Mens Essentials in Canada, which also ships to the States:

    Cheers!

    You are dead on. Try and stay away from any vegetable based oils for Straight Razors, Strops and even more importantly any Sharpening Stones that use oil. Tuf-Glide for the money is a good one that doesn't need a lot of effort.

    "Like dissolves like", any carbon based substance, like carbon based oils, should not be used on metal.

    Mineral oils are much better - I use Tuf-Glide, Ballistrol comes to mind, there are lots.

    And yes, that will turn into a gummy glue!

    I also store my blades in silicone impregnated razor socks, they look much like a razor sized gun sock.

    Use what the Japanese use on their swords and razors "Camellia oil" also use on their womens faces.Has a long history so do a search on google. e.bay sells it.
