Speick - Thoughts?

[Oglethorpe]

I just tried Speick for the first time and was really impressed. This lather came up really fast, took quite a bit of water, and stayed slick throughout the whole shave. I also really liked the smell of the stuff.

I don't really see too many posts here about the stuff, so I was wondering how other guys like it.

Thanks.

I haven't tried it but isn't in the Tabac line? Meaning it has that "tobacco" smell?

Nope, it is "speik" scented. Apparently it is some kind of mountain flower the likes of which causes you to spin around on mountain tops like Julie Andrews in the Sound of Mucus...

Here she is trampling upon a shave stick's worth of the delicate little flowers:

I got a puck from "Joeman" Not bad. Kinda reminds me of MWF for some reason. Very mildly scented. Good Lather, Good overall soap...I think they have a 3 puck special if you go to their site. I like it, but I don't know if I'd buy it again. I have enough soaps and creams to last me quite some time.

I think Speick cream is one of the best values on the market. It performs as well as anything, IMHO. I love the scent, but realize some guys might not. Give it a try, you don't have much to lose on this one.

I got a tube in a trade (together with the Speick AS) and used this morning for the second time: it is a good crea, great lather, but I did not notice that grear scent everybody talks about, mine did not smell that much....which is not a bad thing per se.

The shaving stick is great. I use their aftershave balm too and like it, but some may not. The scent is different from the great scent of the shaving stick and the balm is a little on the oily side. I have the aftershave too, and it just smells mildly citrusy. The gimmick with all of these products is the Speick herb that allegedly confers great benefit.

I picked up some of the after shave "lotion" as they call it, which, I'm assuming is the splash versus the balm (or what you're calling just plain "aftershave"). I'll let you know what I think when it gets here.

I have to say that hands down, Speick is my 2nd favorite "line" for scents.... First probably going to Irisch Moos.... but it's a close battle.

I only had a sample of the cream, and really enjoyed it. I also have the stick, balm, lotion, and cologne. I have not tried the balm because I have yet to hear anything good about it (aside from scent) and I really don't do balms anyway. To me, the lather from the stick is really top-notch...

The cologne has the strongest of the scent (duh), and really accentuates the underlying spicy/peppery aspect of the Speick scent. Don't inhale after spraying - it's almost like a pepper spray!

In scent strength order from least to greatest:
Stick
Cream
Lotion
Cologne

I'm not sure where the balm would fit in....

Oh, and yes, the Lotion is a splash...

I haven't tried anything other than the cream, which is great. Smells great, performs great.
