I love this stuff. Price, quality, latherability, efficacy are all top notch.



The scent is unique and absolutely delightful. After the first shave this cream went into my rotation.



It's a classic! Definitely worth a try.

This is a wonderful shaving cream. It moisturizes very well and provides a close, comfortable, smooth shave. I have really grown to like the scent very much; it is a clean, spicy masculine scent. This shaving cream is also a great value. I wish it came in a tub; the tube is kind of cheap.

I'll keep this very simple. This is the best cream I have ever used bar none.

A wonderful shaving cream whose scent forced me by razorpoint to purchase the deodorant and the cologne...next will be the soap and the aftershave or the scent will throw my Nancy Boy Signature Shave Cream out the window..... Bottom line I love it!

Latherin' it up in Japan!

I love this cream!



Its cheap ($6 usd plus shipping) has a warm, spicy scent, lathers well, and provides a slick, smooth, pleasant shave.



I find that the lather stays warmer in my scuttle longer than my other creams (c.o. bigelow, the body shop) too, which is great for a 3-4 pass shave.



I'm not sure if its me, but after a trial of the Castle Forbes Lavender shave cream, I think the speick could be a touch more moisturizing.



All in all, its a fantastic product at a great price, try it already!

After shaving with Speick for a long time and reading the reviews here, I find that some of them sort of miss the point.

First of all, I don't believe this is a low-end product you find in any cheap drug store in Germany, and I don't see any relation between Speick and car mechanics (the latter will most likely use cream out of a Nivea or Gillette can).

The scent is one of the best things about this cream. It is unique, fresh, full, and invigorating. To me it smells like pine/juniper/gin.

It lathers well, just like any other cream of adequate quality, and seems to provide good glide and protection, since I tend to cut myself much less with this cream than with some others. It is not as moisturizing as Proraso, more like a T&H cream, but this has no effect on the quality of the shave.

Although this is the very first shaving cream I have tried, I keep getting back to it, since some of my best shaves were with it.



I absolutely love the scent, somewhat woodsy and piny, a little bit spicy.



The lather I get from it is one of the best for me, very slick and protecting.



I will definitely buy it again where i run out.

I finally got some of this cream and I'm sorry I waited so long! I like this product a lot and it is one of my best performers regardless of price. I can't get enough of the Speick scent. This cream combined with the AS lotion is a powerful combination. It reminds me of Proraso in consistency and lather, but supasses it in performance. I like the red metal tube since it doesn't look like anything else I have. Highly recomended!

All around a very good product. Make sure to get the bath soap, A/S, EDC (I believe), deo, etc. etc. for a very "Speick-ed" experience.

Price: About $5-$7. A steal for something this good



Quality: First rate.



Scent: I love it. It has the scent of the speick plant...very herbal and spicy and natural. Masculine and appealing. Not heavy.



Latherability: Takes some work, but when you get the ratio right you're rewarded with incredibly thick, stiff, creamy lather.



Efficacy: VERY good.



Moisturizing Properties: Doesn't dry me out like Musgo can.



Packaging: Simple and to the point.







Bottom line...one of the best creams in the world at about 1/5 the price of most luxury brands. A great starter cream.

One thing is for sure, you can't beat the price. Beyond the [non] impact to the wallet, the overall quality is above average, but there are better creams out there. Whipping up good lather is not overly difficult and it does moisturize a bit, though no more or less than most products.



It has a great citrus and woody scent that is very enjoyable and not overpowering. The lather was relatively slick, though it could have been slicker. I'm a minimalist and I rather liked the simple color scheme on the tube.



Overall a very nice cream worth trying.

Wanted to try some inexpensive SCs, so I ordered this along with some Musgo Real. Not bad, but I would definitely choose Musgo over this.



I rather like the packaging, appropriately simple. The scent isn´t bad, I would describe it as being a bit spicy/minty. It kind of reminds me of toothpaste or the Vademecum mouthwash I used to use.



Fairly easy to lather and quite good regarding lubricity and moisturizing. I´d say good, but not great. I´ll probably be using this for travel as I mostly buy SCs in tubs.

just got my first tube of the stuff. Did a quick lather with it- I like the scent- light, but spicy; reminds me of cinnamon. doesn't lather up quite like the upper crust creams, and not quite as thick as proraso, but slick, cushioning and moisturizing.



Great stuff!



How is this stuff pronounced?



"Spike"

"Spik"

"Speek"

I don't think there's anything else I can add to this one. Speick is an all around wonderful cream at a great price. We constantly hear people saying that when you first get into wet shaving you have to try Proraso and Musgo but I think Speick is tops on that list.
