Never have treated it with Proofide (??), nobody local carries it.
It is my understanding that one applies Proofide to soften the leather. I don't need it softer.

I'm not really sure about that - I'm a Brooks newbie, but it seems to me that Proofride helps preserve the leather
without softening it unlike some other non-recommended treatments. I've used Proofride a bit during the break in period and it sure doesn't seem to soften the saddle!
