I also suffer from chronoic Speick underusage, due to too much variety in my den. Thank you Speicktember for encouraging my Speick experience! Number nine logged...number 9...number 9...number 9...

Same kit as before.
I've been trying to think of something witty to add, but what can I say which hasn't already been said? The Speick soap stick and AS splash continue to impress and I've been getting some great shaves with them.
I visited a temple a few days ago and I realized the scent has something in it which bears a striking similarity to Vibuthi(holy ash). When I first bought this I felt that I knew this scent, only I couldn't pinpoint where I'd smelled it before. Now I know.

Speicktember Shave #2
I have not used Speick since last Speicktember. It is as creamy and wonderful as I remembered. This is going to be an enjoyable month of shaves.

What a great soap. This is also the first stick that I am inclined to keep using in stick form (for now anyway). Not sure if it's the consistency or what is really happening, but I like it as is whereas other sticks would have been transferred into a bowl by now.
I've had the same thoughts. I had full intention to use it as a stick for a week or maybe 2 and then grate it into a bowl, but I'm enjoying it as is so far so I'm going to keep on with the stick as is.
So far I'm enjoying the Speick as much as any soap I've ever used.
#5, the "We're having a baby tomorrow" shave.
So of course I followed with the Veg!

Slick lather and comfortable shaves continue thanks to Speick.
I feel the same way about the Speick EDC. Tryed the body soap this week and really like it.
I was going to ask you what that meant yesterday. Just saw the beautiful picture you've shared of Annabelle Grace in the 'ban the user above you' thread. Congrats Jessy! Wish you and your family all the very best.

Hi all
After reading all the positive comments about Speick, I just ordered the aftershave splash and the shave stick.
I noticed some folks break off the shave stick and mix it in a lather bowl. Is this method better than applying the stick directly on the wet face?
thanks,
Ara

Doesn't matter that much. If you prefer building lather on a puck, then slicing/grating it into a bowl works.
I would definitely suggest trying it as a stick first, because it's easier to work with for travel.
I broke out my Speick cream and bought a shave stick this month. Coincidence? Maybeee . . . 
It's a great cream, with a wonderful scent. I also like the Balsam aftershave. The cologne and EdT aren't bad (I had to order the EdT from somewhere weird . . . shaving.ie?), but what I'd really love would be a cologne version of the shaving cream scent (valeriana celtica).
