Do any of you use a lubricant on your hinge pin for your straight razor for corrosion resistance?

I’ve been using Corrosion block oil on my hinge pins for all my straight razors for added protection against corrosion in blade hole meets the scales in case water corrosion. I make sure that my blades are completely dry bur sometimes I’m not sure I got everything. I get a little leery on using a hairdryer Due to some of my skills are buffalo horn.Do any of you use anything different? I used tough glide years ago but I didn’t like the residue that it put on some of my scales.

Thisis what i found out to be the best for my razors
A drop on each side wipe omer the blade
A drop on each side of the pin
Let it penetrat
Wipe the excess
And that is all
Best regards

Do you do this after every shave? or only before storing the razor for a while
 
I use some CLP on the hinge pin as well as under the tang.
I never really put any on the blade unless it’s going to be stored.It’s worked so far.

When storing the razor I lubricate the blade and the pins
Ones the pin is lubricated i put a drop or two after two to three shaves
The razor has to be dry before you apply the oil
