That’s the next step I’ll try.
i just started a big blade test project though That I’ll just do single use of those. But I may take some breaks with that and try the mineral oil, baby oil method.
The mineral oil/baby oil comment reminded me of this: pop over to the straight razor forums and read (maybe even post/link) about storing blades and preventing rust. From what I understand the care and storage of straight razors can pose challenges similar to your's regardless of climate forcing many users to get creative with methods like baby oil. You at least should be able to communicate with people who have more experience with that issue and maybe come to a resolution sooner.
