Picked up a 1 lb can from Midway. I conservatively estimate it will last me approx 376.4 years.
It looks and feels like TW-25B but it's got that Lubriplate thing going on.

In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
I use what's closest to me when working at my bench, it's either Lubriplate or Slide Glide. The Lubriplate tin will last a very long time.
I don't care about wonder-lubes and will not buy another lube in the foreseeable future.
I picked up some SFL 0 myself a couple of weeks ago, along with some plastic syringes for easy application. 1911guy almost had me looking for a polyurea grease, but without paying ridiculous prices or buying in 5 gallon pails, this seems like it will work just fine. I compared the SFL 0 with what seemed like a good polyurea grease based on the following two spec sheets:
http://www.lubriplate.com/PDFs/PDS/8...L-2_1_0_00.pdf

Up to now I've been using oils on the slide rails. It will be interesting to see whether I can notice a difference.
I migrated away from TW25b when I ran out, and switched to SFL-0 due to price and it being rated for use on food equipment (read non-toxic and you can lick your fingers).
To me it has the same consistancy as TW25b. SFL-0 is officially NLSI grade 0.
It stays in place better than TW25b in my opinion.
Effective AND CHEAP.
Here is what influenced me to switch in the first place: http://www.grantcunningham.com/lubricants101.html
pst. I use Ballistol as my CLP. Also effective, non-toxic, and CHEAP.
