My son who is in the Army is now based in Scotland and told me that the water is nice and soft there. He said it makes his shave really smooth ( he uses a straight )
So you are really lucky with the water up there Billy ! Ship some tap water down to us poor souls in the South !!

Aye..No Doubt..The Water in Scotland is Soft..Its Good & Refreshing on the Skin..The Hard & Soft Debate is Very Skewed with the Many Chemicals in Water in Some Places South of the Border..I Mean London is the Pits..Put it this Way..The So Called Royal Family Wont be Swallowing or Washing in it..

Oddly, the Thames is a nice clean river until it gets to Windsor...

On the subject of hard water: use more product.
If I didn't live in London I wouldn't stand a chance of finishing any soap or cream

I know a few folks in Barcelona that would question that They consider themselves to be Catalan first, Spanish second.

Its been a while simce this thread was active. A pure potassium lye product like a Godrej shaving round is unaffected by hard water.
