Thread: Very Hard Water Soaps/Creams

So, first make sure your hard water is the problem. Start by cleaning your brush, soaking in 50% solution of warm water and white vinegar. Shampoo with a dollop in your palm, lather, rinse well and make your lather with distilled water.

If your brush does not bloom fully, it may need another soak. It should bloom fully when dry.

It may just be your brush is loaded and not making lather. I lived with hard water and found a vinegar soak every few months resolved the issue for me. As said worst case, a gallon of Distilled Water is inexpensive and will make lot of lather for an easy solution to your problem.

I was in Las Las Vegas last week and Prorasso single edge and The Art of Shaving citrus (got it at a a shop there) treated me well and they have quite hard water.
