I slide around on it a lot, though. Every time I put my hands in a different position, my bottom goes with it. I'm beginning to think that's wrong, if the idea is that the seat will form to your bottom.
Brooks saddles tend to be slick when they are new. It may help to point the nose up very slightly from what seems to be level, at least until the surface loses a little of its gloss and then you won't slide so much. Sweating a lot will speed up the process.
