I'm with skipper. Stay away from the lotions and potions and magical incantations designed to soften your Brooks saddle. It isn't supposed to get soft. It will gradually conform to the shape of you bottom and your sit bones, but it will still be hard and it will be comfortable (if you are fortunate enough to have a "Brooks butt".

Although it will always be more slick than a typical saddle, it will become considerably less slippery than it was when brand new. That will take a few weeks.
