Therefore it should be safe to use on a foil shaver. With metal I generally leave it on overnight, before wiping off. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Developed for military use....so it works well *by M***E on 11 May 2025* This stuff is amazing....cleans and lubricates just about anything and seems to keep the dreaded rust at bay. Some people don't like the smell ( a bit like aniseed or liquorice) but its not intrusive and I quite like it. Get a little pin dropper dispenser bottle with it....a little goes a very long way. Highly recommended for the trades or handyman with a shed full of rusting tools. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect *by M***A on 3 March 2026* Got for a great price, under £20.00 and cannot complain. Great quality oil as always, only oil my fiancé will use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the most useful oil you have never heard of. *by M***D on 18 July 2020* Apparently this was “invented” around centenary ago for the German Army for use on their rifles (the strange name deriving from the fact that it was primarily a ballistic oil). Basically it is a very versatile oil with a wide range of uses (and I suppose in many ways a very early version of current multi-purpose “oils” such as WD40). It has a strange name and also a very strange smell, though not an especially strong or offensive odour. Aside from freeing and lubricating metal parts it is also exceptionally useful on leather. With leather it acts as both a conditioner and softener. Additionally it waterproofs leather very effectively as it absorbed into the leather rather than just sitting on the surface. Use it sparingly, it seems to be effective immediately, and there is no need to polish/brush off. It also seems to deal with mildew on leather better than any other product I know. As an additional bonus any metal fitting on hiking boots such as D rings or lace hooks which come into contact with it are also rejuvenated. It may appear expensive. I initially got the very small 50ml glass bottle to test its effectiveness and I was so impressed that I then got a 500ml bottle. Not only does this oil lubricate it does not solidify unlike most others. With a typical light oil initially after application there is not a problem, but a week or so later the oil takes on an appearance similar to grease and attracts dirt, this does not. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ballistol 29766 Oil 500 ml - Titan Tools 15200 Precision Oiler - Silver - BGS 9985 | Precision Oiler --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/60900802-ballistol-29766-oil-500-ml](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/60900802-ballistol-29766-oil-500-ml) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
