Speick Shave Cream - 2.5 fl. oz.

Good lather. I’m ordering again. Really recommend using this shaving soap especially if using a brush. I believe without a brush it’s also good. Your choice.Enjoying shaving.

I made a concerted effort to find a better shave after forty years of shaving with cartridge style razors and canned foam.I tried:a) double edge safety razors with the best blades I could find.b) top of the line Gillette Proglide as well as my long term standard Mach3.c) the top two best consumer grade electric shavers the Braun 9 pro and the Panasonic arc6.d) straight edge.I used each for monthThroughout each month I tried a combination of canned shaving foam, canned shaving gel, shaving soap, and shaving cream.Out of all the shaving lubricants I tried I have to admit I liked Speick the most. The smell is subtle but pleasant. My wife approved. The contents are easy on the skin. The tubes are a good value in terms of how long they last. You can use the cream in a foaming bowl to whip up a lather with a brush or you can just put it right on your face. The tube travels easy and is compact. Works great with the range of shavers I tied.Great on: Price, scent, travel compactness, flexible application methods. Nice foaming action (not so thick that it's a pain to use with an electric razor, but thick enough to use any other shaver). Fits nicely in terms of scent with the electric pre-shave and aftershave in the Speick line. Nothing worse than mixing scents and smelling like a laboratory.On a side note. I settled on the Panasonic arc6. it had the best balance of a close shave and easy on the skin; whether I used it wet or dry. I prefer wet but sometimes it's good to get a quick touch up in the afternoon. In those cases, Speick pre shave is a great alternative to shaving cream.Anyways, great product line, consistently good quality product, good price, nice balance of all the properties I valued.

I had asked my daughter to bring back Speick pre-shave lotion from Germany. She could not find it (neither could I after looking extensively on a recent trip to Germany) but brought this shave cream instead. I found that I prefer the shave cream to the pre-shave lotion,( and canned shaving cream) especially in hot and humid weather. Less irritation and extremely close shave on all my electric shavers (water proof) including Braun 9 series, Panasonic Arc 5 and Norelco. I think just applying the cream with your hands causes the hairs to be positioned for easier and closer cutting.

Speick is a decent shaving cream. Good lubrication, builds good foam. But the scent is peppery / spicy which some may not like. And while it was up there with Proraso or Musgo for shaving, when lathering my face it I found it a bit irritating - itchy and some facial burn. When rinsed, the burn went away and there was no lasting irritation.

Great cream, produces great lather and makes a nice barrier between the blade and skin, will buy again soon.

I love this cream. I just put a bit on my hand, pat my hands together, and then rub on my beard. I don't see any need for a brush/mug. It goes on easy. I get a more gentle and smoother shave than I have had with any other brand/type. It is not the cheapest. It goes a pretty good ways for me. Super slick. I don't find it gums up my razor if I keep it rinsed well.Update: I just reordered two more tubes of this shave cream. It IS the best shave cream I have ever used. I have a relatively coarse beard and need to shave every morning if I want to have a clean face, which has nothing to do with this cream. It provides as close a shave as any other cream I have ever used.A little bit does indeed go a long way for me. It is super slick. As someone else said, I use about a dime size (tube thick). It doesn't lather up much. I'm not sure what that matters actually. As slick as it is I don't need it. And it washes off clean and fairly quickly. It has a subtle scent which is different than I have ever smelled before. I find it nice and it doesn't really smell after I dry off. I am not a shave cream snob as (no offense intended) some others seem to be. They like their rituals and if that works for them, great. I don't use a shave cream brush. I just put the small amount in my palm and use a couple of fingers from the other hand to mash it up and then apply. It also will not gum up my blades as I have seen with some other foamy creams. I guess I am giving it a rave review, and I am.

This shaving cream is made with a mountain herb. I love the smell. It works good with my brush and bowl.

I've been using this shaving cream for many years and won't use anything else. Highly recommended.
