Does Mineral Oil Work for Electric Razor Lubrication? My Experience with Baby Oil, Ballistol, and More

I recently came across a comment on the Electric Razor Rap YouTube channel where someone mentioned using mineral oil to lubricate their electric razor. While I’ve never tried mineral oil, I have used baby oil in the past and found it works well. Based on that, I’m planning to buy some mineral oil to test it out for razor lubrication. I’ve also heard good things about Ballistol, so I plan to try that, too.

I’m curious, though—has anyone else tried using mineral oil on their electric razors? How did it work for you?

It’s important to remember that after cleaning your razor, you should lubricate the blades. Today’s razors are so easy to clean, often just requiring a rinse under hot water, that people sometimes forget about lubrication. Skipping this step can lead to premature wear on the blades, reducing their lifespan and effectiveness. Even though cleaning is simple, don’t neglect lubrication!
