No problem, Dave,
Like many other topics, there is a bunch of lore and religion involved in what is the right or best or correct way of taking care of a Brooks B-17. For what it's worth, I am a leather worker part time as a hobbyist and what I do works for me. It may not be PC, but in my experience there is nothing wrong with it. It might be pointed out that a lot depends on the environment. I live in the Sacramento valley where it is hot and low-humidity for most of the year. Any kind of leather left outside will dry out.
For the record, Proofide contains a mixture of tallow,cod oil,vegetable oil,paraffin, beeswax and citronella oil. I doubt any piece of leather would react differently to neatsfoot oil versus the mixture you buy from Brooks.
