Thread: Sentry tuf-glide

Has anyone used Sentry tuf-glide on their razors? Sounds like just the thing for the pivot pin. Any adverse reactions/other reasons not to use it?

roughkype,

TuffGlide (and TufCloth) are my mainstay 'preservatives' for use with my rotation razors.

The solvent used is IIRC kerosene or naptha, and I have had no ill affects on my scales (wood, bone & 'plastic'), though I would be careful to check that your scales would be OK !!

I tend to limit my application to the blade and tang.

I have found TufGlide to work superbly in protecting my blades - I live in an old, cold Victorian house with sash windows, no central heating and is within a 150 yards of the English Channel. All my razors are still bright and shiny

In my opinion, TufGlide is an excellent product.

As TufGlide is a dry film protectant, I do not wipe it off before stropping; my strops have had no negative reactions to the TufGlide, nor has my chops

Good luck !

Have fun !

Best regards

The Same Here. They claim a micro-bonding takes place and I feel it is true. I use 3 or 4 drops(1 at the pivot) and smooth it down the blade with my finger, down the spine and the other balde face, then the tang. Let sit a bit and wipe excess of with paper towell. They say to wash hands and I agree. A fine product for firearms as well as knives!

Thanks, guys. I'll start using it here, too, then.
