I'm right outside Philly, across the Delaware river...

I used to go camping at the D Water Gap...

So, you'd be close to Cheese Steaks...."Genos"

My inlaws used to live in Moorestown.

Does that count?

Sure does. I'm right near moorestown.

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.

The "lotion" splashes on but fades quickly, leaving a pleasant and light powdery scent. This would be a good splash that you could use with a different cologne because it won't overpower it.

Where is the best (cheapest) place to buy some Speick?

I would love to try this stuff, I am a big TABAC fan so I am thinking I will like this too?
