I can understand the whats better for a Brooks mentality its born into us to look for something better for just about any circumstance. I'm of the opinion and it may not be worth much but why not use what the manufacturer recommends? Its worked for years and I've used it on all my Brooks saddles and they are in great shape. One application in the spring and maybe another mid summer on my most ridden saddle and if one of them gets wet I let it dry and give it a go again. Seems to have worked so far. Like another person posted, its made frome a dead cow whats the difference?
