Has anybody tried using Barbicide to soak razors between shaves to ward off corrosion, keep blades sharper?

Question

I use an expensive, facial oils-based blade soaking solution now to do the job. It works and there is zero skin irritation. A stylist thought that anti-rust Barbicide would inhibit corrosion a lot more cheaply. I'm a little skeptical that it would do that and at no risk of facial irritation. Anybody have a clue?

Answer 1

I don't know about the skin irritation, but barbers use it not only to prevent rust, but to kill bacteria.

Answer 2

one concern to be conscious: in case your razor makes use of a teflon type anti-friction strip above the blades, stay faraway from infant/mineral oil or the different petroleum type of oil. that is going to dissolve the strip in a million-2 days. The strips curiously are a rubber depending version. i imagine olive and maximum plant type oils "might want to" be in basic terms high-quality.
