A shaft seal includes a rigid case and an elastomeric seal body affixed thereto. The seal body member includes a primary sealing lip and a secondary sealing lip axially spaced from one another by an intermediate flex section. The sealing surfaces of both sealing lips are lined with a singular piece of low friction material in the form of a single annular wafer having radially inner and outer liner portions covering the primary and secondary sealing lips. The wafer is formed with a weakened material section intermediate the inner and outer annular liner portions for increasing the flexibility and independent operation of each sealing lip.
