Do you guys store them in a container of oil, or just keep them dry? (Baby oil stains like crazy)
 
I'd recommend storing them dry. Some waterstones need to be immersed for a while in order to work effectively. So some people store them that way to save time. Not an issue with oil stones. Just apply a little oil to the surface and start grinding.

Not necessarily true... more porus oilstones need to be saturated as well.
