You could try getting a bunch of 1/32 cross section by about x about 5/16thths diameter hole "O-rings" from a hardware store and stack them onto the tang. Obviously the razor must be unpinned. Perhaps a good time for cleaning.
And if the "o-rings" look good, the remove them and add a little trim adhesive to the spot on which they will reside.
I have used the o-rings for a lot of purposes, they are dirt cheap, and this could be another.

Gearshift rubber for a Honda?

I have one razor with that apparatus. A Puma Inox # 63, and the rubber is 1/2 way split along one edge of the tang. I never would have bought that razor had it not been for the Spanish point.
An unusual thing in a Puma AFAIK, and one of my favorite points for a straight razor. I think I'm going to put a dab of 3M black super weatherstrip adhesive on it and clamp it to prevent it going the rest of the way.
I wish they would never have come up with that cost cutting move, and just continued stamping logos in tangs with jimps top and bottom. Wish in one hand ....... spit in the other .......Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Thanked: 4249Perhaps a piece of rubber tubing would work as well..... but unpinning the razor to put that on seems like a pita for something you dont really need....JMO

These are pen grips from cheap" Colibri pens "from a drug store. The ridges run 90 deg to the fili's, but who cares !

They do aid gripping - although a Dovo Bergischer Lowe I have encouraged water to creep under and cause damage - so I removed it. With the Pumas there was no noticeable problem because water can't get underneath.
The other issue with them is that both the tang and scales are designed to accommodate the rubber, therefore if it's missing, the razor looks wrong.My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.
