I went on vacation this last weekend to the coast and brought along a couple of pre-stropped razors, brush, mama bear's soap...etc. The next morning, I got up and prepped the way that I usually do but there was something different this time. When I went to make lather, all I got was fizz...no lather even from my mama bear soap. The coastal water has a ton of chemicals in it and who knows what else...the shave was excruciating to say the least since I couldn't do my usual prep. The second day I went out and bought a gallon of bottled water but it wasn't much better!
I empathize with those out there that suffer from treated hard water...I don't know how you guys do it.:(
