Speick Shave Cream - 2.5 fl. oz.

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 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.

Because it comes in a tube, I purchased this as a travel shave cream to go in my toiletry kit. After using it on my trip, I'm considering making it my daily shave cream when I'm home. This stuff is fantastic. Lathers easily with bowl and brush, provides thick, rich cream with good glide and cushion, and has that awesome Speick fragrance. Leaves my face feeling smooth and moisturized. The shave was comfortable and the razor just glided. Will definitely purchase again.

This is a no nonsense shaving cream; not over-hyped, just does what it's supposed to do. The shaving qualities are good. It lathers up very well with a brush and provides sufficient cushioning and lube for a safe and close shave. No overpowering flowery scent here; to me it smells like pine forest but it's toned properly and I found myself liking it a great deal. It's the only shave cream my wife comments on as smelling good. Priced nicely, well made.

Been using it for many years. and it is really a great cream. Lathers well and lasts several weeks per tube. Minimal scent. Like it better than their Active version. At $5.90 per tube, can't be beat.

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

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.

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