Shhhhh......... don't tell anyone, but I've been using Giles Berthoud leather dressing on my Brooks Pros, Imperial and my Berthoud Galibier saddles for some time now and it has worked really nice.
Even hit the bottoms (sparingly, and just once so far) with no problems.
The French stuff looks a bit yellower in color than the new Proofide, but does not have any discernable odor to it...
Been wondering though, where all this stuff cones from. I doubt if Brooks or Berthoud owns proprietary plants to produce these things. I think it's most likely contracted out......
