If it’s level I feel like I’m sliding off the front. Also all my weight is on my hands. For me Brooks saddles have to angle up.

Certainly the devil is in the details, and I find very small positional changes more noticeable with my leather Brooks.

I am old enough that when I was young, all quality bicycle saddles were leather, the bikes that pros rode all had leather saddles. I am still buying leather as it is what I know. I tried Brooks Cambium, but it does not work for me.
On sliding fore or aft, change the angle so you stop sliding.
