Default Speick

Has anyone else here discovered the delights of Speick shaving cream? I keep returning to it more often than it would typically pop up in the normal rotation of the various sudses on the shelf. The fragrance is light and spicey and the lubricity is something of which Shell would be envious. While I like many of the others, more and more I'm coming to really like Speick.

--I can't help but think that in an otherwhen life I must have written advertising copy for one or another brewery--

good sudsing, good shaving

Excellent product with a great fragrance. Unfortunately, this is the only product of theirs that I have used.

Have you used anything besides their cream?

I love Speick altough I have only used it a week. It has a great spicy and fresh scent and it makes good smooth lather, I also like the shampoo and body wash sample that I got when I purchased the cream.

Speick is great - I have the shaving stick, the shaving cream and a bar of soap - superb stuff all the way

I love Speick. Excellent product and scent. I also really like their a/s. Its very light and has a more citrusy scent. Its great in the summer time and it won't clash with your cologne. The a/s treats your skin pretty well for an alcohol splash too. I've never been able to get the stick to work well, but I haven't had the patience to really work at it either.

I want to try the Speick cologne. Can anyone describe the scent?

I have the Speick Stick and Cream. Have to say the scent does nothing for me - it's not bad, but just doesn't smell good to me. The performance of the stick is very solid - it's a very good tallow soap, but I think Valobra stick is better. I'm one of the few that didn't think the Speick cream performs well. It lathers nicely, and is slick, but I found I wasn't getting much protection. All YMMV of course.

louee,

My mileage has varied as I think the cream both smells and works great. Another pearl of MMMV is that I used my locally available Wm. Marvy soap this morning and got a wonderfully close and smooth shave from it. I may forego all the Forbses and Taylors and Classics and Salters and QEDs and...and... and just stick with the Marvy soap and Speick cream.

Father,

I have used none of Speick's other products.
