jesus, how cheap are you? you've just purchased a £70 saddle. spend another fiver to make sure it'll last you.
oh and the fellow from the brooks factory told me that proofhide serves to waterproof the saddle, not to help soften it. only wear will help soften it (or neatsfoot oil but he recommended against using that since it softens the leather too much).
