Nice bunch...

Thanks! I definitely agree.

What does it smell like, please?

Haha please don't ask! I don't know. I'm terrible with fragrances.

I can look it up on fragrantica

I received the Floid Blue Hair Tonic yesterday from Gifts&Care via Amazon, I got to say it was a quick service, so thanks to both.
I haven't used the Tonic on my hair yet but smelt from the bottle and it has a hint of the Floid blue aftershave mixed with a classic cologne scent.

Aha, thanks.

Juan - After a good clean, rinse, and dry, I apply one small drop to the centre spindle, and half a drop to the adjustment ring if the razor is adjustable. I then gently work the mechanisms through a cycle or two to distribute the oil.

Thanks. Glad to know.. I've never ever dared to use any kind of oil in my vintage razors... Kind of magical fear!

I hear you - certainly not compulsory. I find that fine machine oil is ideal - doesn't gum up or break down. The trick is to only add a tiny amount. The sewing machine bottles such as this are just the job, as they have a precision tip.

I see, thanks!

You can use light oil safely on razors, not to worry. WAHL clipper oil, Bisley gun oil, Balistol are good as well addition to the oil mentioned, in worst case scenario you can use Baby oil as well.

Excellent post, @Sezer1974.
Agree 100%. I have Ballistol and it's great stuff - I just find the scent a little strong for razor use. [emoji3]
Now - a .243 Sako bolt action? Perfect!

I am a big fan of Ballistol. It emulsifies in water and leaves a nice protective and lubricating film when the water evaporates!
