These "Brooks treatment" threads crack me up. Proofide is readily available, is a proven entity and recommended by Brooks, and costs less than a buck per year per saddle. Sure, on a per-ounce basis it's expensive, but I use just a few grams per application so don't feel too badly used when I do it. How much cheaper does an alternative treatment have to be to justify the risk of damage to a $100 saddle?

Having said that, I like mickey85's idea.
