You don't have to polish Proofide then ?
It's self polishing ?

It needs to be worked in, but not to anything like the same degree as
dubbin before the saddle's in a non-laundry generating state.

So you get more all-round exercise. Arms as well as legs.

And I trust Brooks on this one, they've been making leather saddles for

You've never suffered a broken rail by the sounds of things then.

Ever since the 30's to judge from their old catalogues, Brooks have
always gone in for more bullsh*t than other makes like the French
Ideale, who were just as prestigious and used to be sold through
Ron Kitching. Or in the UK Lycett or Wright, not quite as prestigious
but just as serviceable and now all equally defunct. As would Brooks
be by now, if they hadn't been taken on as a fashion accessory
by the Italian Selle Royale.
