Thread: Still struggling with MWF by itself!

Here is an update on what I found by using citric acid to soften my water. This morning, I softened some water and whipped up some MWF. Oh my! I have NEVER been able to get MWF to turn out so creamy and slick. Soft water makes all the difference in the world. It almost seemed like the über lathers I get. Very nice.

Tonight I did a side by side experiment using both soft and hard water. I used the same brush, bowl, and technique. The soft water returned the same result as this morning. The hard water returned the same result as the past...which was an airy, bubbly, un-impressive lather. Soft water is definitely the way to go. It even improved the lather of tabac and ogalalla I tried.
