Well I never went to the Brooks website, but here is what I did. Bought an old Fugi, with a Brooks saddle that sat outside in the sun and rain for a decade. It was hard, curled and dry as a bone, stiff to the max. Logic told me if a little Proofride is good, then a lot of neatsfoot oil would be better. So I wrapped the saddle in aluminum foil and commenced to soaking the saddle everyday for a week. A week later my saddle was the consistency of wet cloth. No structure whatsoever. It has regained some structure, about 10%, This was 3 years ago and I consider it a failed experiment. This summer I will let it sit in the sun for a couple weeks just to see what happens. Lesson learned, less is the best approach, and add a little as necessary.
