Zee,
We also have softened water. As Pineneedles states, the irony is that you are actually better rinsed than with "hard" water. The softener removes many of the minerals from the water, whereas hard water still has many of them left in. It's a feeling you are not used to since most water is "hard".
Here's a good explanation of why you don't feel it rinses as well.
