In my quest to get more mileage out of my M5 blades, I think I may have stumbled onto something. There is a product from Sentry Solutions called Tuf Glide that I have used on my knives and retractable batons for years.
So this got me thinking, why not try it on my razor blades. From my knife experience I can tell you that after it is applied, it dries to a very light, non greasy film that is a corrosion inhibitor. It also seems to have mild cleaning characteristics. Where it really shines is the applicator, it allows you to apply a drop with pin point accuracy, which means no gettting it all over the lube strip (I have also used a Q-tip which seems to work).
Before trying this, I had been using Arm and Hammer shower cleaner, which works, but after a day or two the lube strip is gone.....no good. I will keep everyone posted as to how this is working for me.
