My water is very hard (over 300mg/l calcium carbonate)
and have never needed to do anything with it except add a table spoon of water to soaps for 10mins or load a bit more product. Saying that I do notice the difference when any lathering product when in areas with softer water.

Same as Mark. I have to chew mine before swallowing.
Letting some water set on a puck while showering, helps.
And yes, it will take a bit more product to produce a good lather.
As for glycerin, just a few drops will richen your lathermarkbignosekelly and Steve56 like this.Mike

My water is so soft my kettle looks the same as the day it bought it 6 years ago and when I shower I feel like i can't get the body wash off.
I usually face lather and a 10 second swirl in the soap loads my brush for a 4 pass shave and i still feel like I'm wasting some when I wash my brush out.mrjin likes this.- - Steve
You never realize what you have until it's gone -- Toilet paper is a good example
