Try washing your hands with a jug of distilled water, which is utterly
soft.

How does that compare to your "softened" water?

Comparing essentially deionized water to softened only water is not a
fair comparison. The TDS and other things in softened only water
changes the 'feel' of the water. The same applies to RO water.
