First of all, it's an actual Brooks-brand Brooks

I bought it off craigslist slightly used. The original owner said he couldn't break it in. He suspects he was sitting to far back.

It's breaking in fine as far as my sits bones are concerned. But I am still having pressing/chaffing in the "taint" and scrotum. This was my problem with padded saddles.I know this is a softer area so break-in for this might take longer. Or will it? Should I have gotten a Brooks with a cut-out? If so, I've read of people who cut out their saddle with a sharp knife. Anyone done this?
