    I was stationed in Groton, CT for a while and my ex-wife was from the NYC area...hands down the best pizza I have ever tasted. Argue the water issue all you want, but you can't fool these taste buds ;-)

    HA! I've got the same problem. The water where I live has 250 ppm dissolved solids, and ph 8. I've never had good luck with soaps; creams lather much better for me.
    The work-around I've come up with is to add aprox. 5 to 10 mL regular drug-store brand glycerine to my lather bowl before lathering. Too much can kill your lather, but a little helps to improve it's glide.
