Preemptive response first: Please no "get soft water" or "soaps will never reach their fullest potential unless you have soft water" or even "use soft water from a jug rather than your tap to make lather".

I have ultra hard water and it's staying that way. I don't have a ton of experience with a lot of soaps: Mama Bears, Bigelow/Proraso cream, Toms of Maine cream, TOBS cream, TGQ soaps and creams recently. Out of the soaps and creams I've tried, Mama Bears soap and Bigelow/Proraso cream are the most hard water friendly. This means, easy to make lather a ton of lather right out of the gate, lather that stays on the face and does not dry out and lather than stays lather in the shaving bowl until I'm done shaving.

What are some other suggestions for great soaps or creams that fit my criteria in red above?

Thanks guys.
