Hi, I'm curious if some oil could fill both roles of protecting a carbon steel straight from rust and also be a good pre-shave oil.
Specifically, I'm now looking at my toddlers skin oil. It contains "Paraffinum Liquidum" which is paraffin oil that I know is good to protect the carbon steel. It also contains "Isopropyl Palmitate" that is palmtree oil and common in cosmetics. Do you think this is useful to protect the carbon steel from rusting? I already have it in the bathroom for my child and it is dirt cheap.
Feel free to tell me no before I damage a nice Revisor 6/8 with my ignorance
Suggestions of other oils that can fill both roles would be welcome.
