Did you just bought a Brooks? It's really not that important to use the proofide. I have had my Brooks for about 5 years and have only used the proofide less than 5 times. First time I used it was over 2 years into using the saddle.
More important is to tension the leather I think. I didn't get the spanner when I bought mine (must have fallen out of the package as it was brand new) and ne'er bothed to buy one and now my saddle is in a but of an unusual shape.
