I use a Chapstick to coat the edges and keep my fingers away from sharp edges.

I use Fluid Film....its made to protect tractor implements that sit out in the weather.

Its made from lanolin.....from sheep.

I get it in a spray can from the farm supply here.  I keep a sponge sprayed with it and just press the head into it on both sides...I also spay a little inside the slots on my bow quivers.

I use vaseline also.

You might also consider cold bluing the iron to prevent rust. The oil then works better as the second line of defense.

Brownells Oxpho-Blue (actually black) is the best for this.  Clean heads, blue, wash, oil: easy. Can be renewed after every sharpening.  

This reminds me I need to get some...

The chapstick trick works great.  I think TooShort came up with that one.

Chapstick works well

Yes, but won't that run the risk of cutting your lips? LOL

chapstick for broadheads....cow crap for chapped lips...

it won't heal 'em, but you won't lick 'em!

Fluid film sounds great! I will use it on my bowie too, lanolin is great for leather so the product transfer from the blade to the sheath will be a good thing!

Vaseline. Hands down. You can't beat it!

Elmer's "slide-all" is a spray lubricant/protectorant that adheres to the edge after sharpening and works very well. As Terry mentioned earlier with "fluid film" a shot sprayed in the slot in the foam where the broadhead goes is good practice as well.
