+1 Montana pitch blend. It makes the leather a little slicker and helps prolong the life of the tab.

No, my cordovan tab is slick already and seems to get slicker with age.

Hill and John Schulz never went out without powder. Hill preferred the lilac scented talc. Myself I like the almond scented powder, it makes me smell pretty and it does give a slicker release.

I try not to let my mind wander...It is too small and fragile to be out by itself.
