Some places the water just feels so soft during a shower or when washing your hands. Other places, especially old buildings the water can feel a lot less comfy when washing your hands etc. Why is this?

Yup. It’s minerals. Hard water is water that’s come from a limestone reservoir underground. It contains a lot of Calcium and Magnesium ions, dissolved from the limestone.
