Knotted - your advice was spot-on with my Brooks. The more I ride it after my fitter returned my saddle to how the FIRST fitter adjusted it the better it feels

I had no money for Proofhide after the rain last weekend, but did use some mink oil just to put something on the saddle after it got drenched. I will be getting Proofhide this weekend as everything I have read seems to indicate that it really is better to use than mink oil. Unsure why, but it isn't that expensive...
