Honestly, you don’t break in the saddle. It breaks in
you.
Look at my pictures above. The brown saddle is 14 years old with 25,000 miles (over 2000 hours) on it while the black saddle is essentially new. The two saddles are essentially the same. The tension bolt is still in the factory setting. When I go for a ride on the black one, I don’t expect any different ride. I also have several other Brooks that look factory fresh as well. My nether regions are used to Brooks saddles, not the other way around.
Accepting that the saddle will break you in goes a long way to making the saddle comfortable.
