Need advice on cleaning/oiling/preserving inherited guns

I use an old style shaving soap brush to oil my pistols (for about 60 years now lol) with a light oil for the exterior, then they go in a silicone impregnated gun sock and then the safe when they have been cleaned.... never store a pistol in a leather holster.
Any good leather oil (Leather Honey is pretty nice but any will do) and store in a cool dry place like your closet where the air moves. Inspect it now and again as they can mold and that is hard to get rid of.
