I've been battling saddle soreness for a bit and have noticed that, when using "taint butter" (I should call it margerine...because it taint butter....), most of it ends up softening the leather on my San Marco Rolls. This didn't happen back in the days when I could afford a real chamois. The new "breathable" and absorbant chamois just suck up buttloob, no matter where you apply it...skin or chamois. Maybe I should get my crotch coated with Teflon.....
I think I'll try a new saddle instead.
