Johnsons Baby Oil is a mineral oil, but of a type and grade suitable for putting on babies' skin. Normal household lubricants like 3-in-1, sewing machine oil, and so forth are designed for inanimate objects (and that's not me after Christmas lunch), and personally I'd not use them where there is a chance of contact with skin; and especially on my face when shaving.
You could of course lubricate with household oil and clean it off completely, which rather destroys the point of putting it on in the first place. So my vote is for baby oil.
I have a heated ultrasonic bath, which I use with a mild dilute ultrasonic metal cleaning solution, and that seems to do the job; followed by the baby oil.
