A month ago I moved to a ski resort for the winter and I've noticed that the water here is quite soft unlike any water I've seen before and the quality of the shaves I get are just on a whole new level and I still can't believe it.
While I've noticed some improvements when I've been to a couple of other places in the past where the water was either slightly hard or soft, the differences were noticeable, but nothing out of this world. Here however the water feels like magical compared to everything else.
For instance, my beard gets ready for shaving within a few minutes of preparation, while it usually takes me a lot more time and I also have to put a lot of effort as well. In some cases even after taking a shower my beard doesn't feel mych softer at all.
The other thing that I've noticed is that the building lather is super easy and I kid you not, but even after a full 3 pass shave, the brush still has tons of lather on it that could easly be used for at least one more or perhaps even two more.
All in all I'm really impresded of how easy and effortless the shaving is and it's like I have shaved the wrong way the whole time. Also, the overall quality of the shaves is much better and I think this water might help me improve my straight razor shaving as well.
The only downside is that I get at least one ingrown hair from each shaving, which isn't very pleasant, but I guess that's the price I have to pay.
