Speaking of the olive oil in the sink, i remind all that shave in shower like I do, to be extremely careful with the stuff on the floor of the shower or tub. IT can be extremely slick!
Good point,I have a shower mat in the tube,just taking a shower can be slick.

Wanted to add that I've had a lot of success recentle with vitamin E oil also. The brand I buy has a little bit of lemon oil in it also. I original bought it to shave with but have also been using it on the scar left by a recent operation on my chest/shoulder/bicep. The oil really seems to help soften the scacar and stop the "pulling" around the scar area.
On my head and face, it makes a great shaving creme mixed with regular bar soap. I rub it on my head first then just put a thin film of regular bar soap. Of course, it works great with HeadSlick also.

OK, you've got me wondering! I'm going to wait till my current blade is dead, put on a brand new one and then keep it in olive oil!!

Hey Ryan thanks for the update
It's too early for me to report any big news but I am confused a bit about the fact
that storing my mach 3 blade in olive oil makes it more difficult to glide on my dome.
Maybe olive oil has nothing to do with it. In any case, if I can save $90-$130 a year on blades
then I will do it,..............no matter how big a mess it creates.

You do a slip and fall in the bathtub and you are going to really hurt your self.

Thanks for the tip Tank!
I've been storing my blade in the oil for about two weeks and the results are great. I shave in the shower, so cleanup is nothing.
There is one drawback, if I get the olive oil on my face it makes my skin break out, but if I shave my head before my face, then no oil gets on my face.
I don't use the oil to shave, just to store it, but of course some gets on my head until I rinse the blade after a few passes.
I've done it for two weeks (minus a three day weekend on the road) and normally I would have switched the blade by now.
My theory is that it stops corrosion, keeping the blade sharp longer. Swords and guns are shipped and stored covered in grease. It makes sense.
Thanks again. I'll post my results on the board after another few weeks.

Way to go
I can`t believe how long my blades are lasting. Fusions are not cheap.I hope you save a ton of money.
