Thread: Speick - Thoughts?

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.

Zib...

I've looked and never noticed a puck anywhere online. I got a sample from an online retailer (cream) and noticed that everywhere I've seen it comes in a tube.

I prefer pucks to creams usually, but this cream is great.

Thanks.

Ah, I thought you were refering to the shave stick......

Yeah.. I should have specified. I'm talking about the cream.

I had figured since you had been doing the hustle with Tabac that you were strictly a tallowy soap guy.

I shoulda known you would be playing the field.....
