Water Softeners

Do you ever get used to the slimy feeling water?

We finally had our softener installed last week (previous owners missed the part in the contract where we asked them to leave theirs so they had to purchase a new one and have it installed for us). I've noticed that my dish soap and shower gels produce way more suds than before, but I'm not sure if that makes up for feeling like I just can't get my hands clean.
