What you need to do is find an old pair of wool shorts with a leather chamois. Wash the shorts and dry them out in the sun. The chamois will be like a crisp taco shell. Mount a brand new Brooks Pro on your bike and go riding. Brutal! You should get lots of chafing and some bloody sores. But just keep riding daily. Wash the shorts every 3 or 4 rides. Blood stains on the chamois will show you are doing it right. After a few thousand miles it won't matter what saddle you are riding. You have toughened up your backside and any saddle feels just right.
