I'm interested that Brymer recommended tallow. You can get rendered tallow without the other ingredients in the Proofide. Anthony Gigliotti was, at least when I studied with him in the 1960s and early '70s, using McQueen's Pure Mutton Tallow, which I've gone back to using for the past couple of years.
I tried some beef tallow that I found in a local health products store (marketed as a skin emollient), but I found it was less slippery and tended to become more sticky over time than the mutton tallow. It may have been a difference in the rendering process.
