I found that the leather itself it does break in very well just by gently flexing it without the need for oils.
I'm curious about the pumice though. Wouldn't it leave a residue of heavy pumice grains on the leather? I suppose you would have to be pretty careful in cleaning it. Finally as to the pumice on the leather, the leather on the 827 has a large amount of fuzz. I mean lots not just a very light fuzz. Is that what your 127 was like? I'm curious because I have been trying to reduce my fuzz by using sandpaper to no avail. It just makes the problem worse. Perhaps I could shave it off. lol.
