Not that simple guys. Dreamy lives in Australia. To get a tin of Proofide costs as much as the postage -- the point I was making in my post.

Judicious use of Dubbin is fine, and he has it on hand. Believe me, my Team Pro has *not* suffered from oversoftening, and is never likely to. The B17 is getting to be a nice, comfy saddle, and I've only ever applied the Dubbin on top, never underneath. But then I also run mudguards.
