I have been learning to shave with a str8 for a few weeks now, and my 'New' big question is about working up a good lather. I use very hard well water to shave with, it takes a bit of effort to get a decent lather going with my brush, boars hair by the way, so to the question, does the hardness of the water make a big difference?? And would the water be harder with well water on some day's then on others?? AND, if so does this problem make it more difficult for my str8 to slice off my wiskers as smoothly as it should. OR, am I just looking for something else to blame my problems with shaving technique on!!! LOL[maybe]
Thank you for letting me bend all 'yer ears for a while, just another newbie question 'out'a the way!!!
