I do use proofide on mine, heavy coat on the underside and a less on top. Let it sit for a bit in a warm spot. Then buff the top off. I have Brooks saddles on most of my bikes, for me they are always comfortable right out of the box and only get better as they age. I usually proofide my saddles once a year or so.

As Machka pointed out the nose tilt will vary a bit for each person. FWIW in my observation men seem to need more back tilt than women.
