    Scrape it all off and start again...

    One, I would not use Tung on a brush, there is a big difference in getting the scales wet and then drying them off, and SOAKING that brush in hot hot water, then having a damp brush for hours after the shave....
    I will argue till I am blue in the face saying that NO tung oil finish will hold up to that for long....

    OK now what to use, first clean it off, use acetone let it dry, use acetone, let it dry...

    If I were doing it, I would use a sealer first, then the most water proof coating I could get on there...
    Or maybe just use pour epoxy and be done with it...
