hippy-
Try adjusting it first?
By way of an update, I did a few more rides with the saddle angled ever so slightly down, along with ensuring the left shoe was looser than normal (and that the velcro strap at toes had no tension through it), which seemed a little better.
Thought fuck it and went looking for a Romin, which is what i used to use a few years ago. Went out for 90mins today on it and got no numbness, even after adding a couple Boa clicks mid-ride.
I'm still going to organise a bike fit as sometimes it feels like my left leg is just along for the ride and isn't 'comfortable' when pushing out bigger power. Plus it's been 3 years since my last, and I'm feeling fitter and more flexible nowadays.

Good find, thanks. Thinking about it some more, I'm an idiot and forgot that my commuter/winter bike (which I've not ridden for 6 months due to WFH) also has a Fabric Tri saddle and didn't have this issue. Process of elimination suggests the Axis saddle needs to go. Annoyingly I actually find it very comfortable and don't feel any pressure 🤔
