Review title is Hard Water Problems... [SEP] This may be redundant so I will keep it brief. This soap is slick! Smells nice; very subtle. I could not get the lather to work with my hard water here in San Diego CA. It was there and gone. Also I think my skin is sensitive to the lanolin. Really great soap as the slickness and moisturizing is crazy. Great online reviews. It just did not work for me. I would recommend buying the puck first without the bowl to try.
