Hey everyone,
So I just received my first straight razor as a gift!! Yay!!!! But before I use it I want to make sure I keep it safe and rust free. So I heard that you generally use oil to keep the rust off. I was wondering what kind? I was also wondering if the oil you used would have any adverse effects on the skin. I don't want to end up with acne all over the place after shaving because of oil on the razor.
So with this in mind. What oil do you use, how often do you use it, do you remove it before your shave, and does it mess with your skin at all?
I will be keeping a shave journal once I start since I am completely new at this and I think it would be fun to do and cool to look back on one day.
Thanks for all the help guys!
