i've got a b17 and two b72's. i'd used a couple of different highly recommended products on them in not too recent past. i wish now i hadn't because i can see what some others on the forum were talking about. you don't want to use anything that will soften the leather. they actually can sag prematurely. i've had to adjust them more than i really should be
from now on i won't use anything other than proofide or a product that 99.9% resembles it. and i really don't like to be a purist. anyway, proofide's cheap enough on ebay
