I have a straight that the jimps are highly polished and when my hands are really dry I have trouble with the blade slipping or I don’t feel like I have a solid grip shaving, so tonight it hit me that wax is great for a good grip on surfboards and other things so I put a light coat of Renaissance Wax on the shank and upper and lower jimps on my razor and it literally felt like my fingers were glued to the razor the entire shave. When done I just wiped the wax off while drying the razor before I put it up. It took no time at all and left no residue on my fingers.
