Hey all,

I have an old sheffield that was a little hard to hold on to if and when the tang got wet. I found if you rub a slight coat of beeswax onto all sides of the tang it makes it just a bit tacky, preventing slippage. Very little is needed. Another benefit I found is that it actually helps prevent water from traveling onto the tang and into the hinge, thereby helping to prevent rust.

I got idea after watching surfers wax their board on tv.

Works great, less slipping...

Happy Shaving,
Mark.
