What's the. best way to soften it?
Not to.

First of all the perineal pressure of an Ideal or Brooks saddle cuts off blood flow. Most cyclists end up with enlarged prostrates anyway, why exacerbate it because you think an old leather saddle is kitche or kool, or like the way it looks. If you insist on having a classic leather saddle I wouldn't look any farther than a Selle Anatomica.
