I have over 600 miles on my Brooks Flyer Special now and I noticed this round of Proofide application that the top side absorbed the Proofide on the sides of the wider part in the back a lot more and faster than the rest of the saddle. I know you're not supposed to put much on the top of the saddle, I just skimmed over it and let it sit over night before buffing (the manual says to lightly apply to the top, then buff when completely dry). My question is the rate of absorption - is that any sort of "indicator" that will show when the saddle is starting to get broken in? This is my first leather saddle and the more I ride it the better it gets, but I am a little surprised that at 600 miles that it isn't quite what I would call "comfortable", or maybe I am expecting something that is outside the characteristics of a leather saddle. I am still waiting for the "pressure points" to disappear - they have diminished, but still present, and not anything that kills my rides, I just am hoping they disappear completely and the saddle becomes a perfect fit.
