The problem was that every time I didn't assume, and just tried it out for myself. And it always just reminded me of a scent that would go much better with someone twice my age or more. So now I take every review of a scented product here much more carefully, and look for things that I feel are a sure fire choice that I would have picked in the first place. There is nothing wrong with that. Speick is just not for me. Although other then the scent, its a great shave.
Is it me or the Speick?

For the last 3 weeks, I've been using my Mama Bears Shave Stick with wonderful results. I finally broke out the Speick Stick and thought I would give it a try.
It feels like I shaved my face off. 24 hours later and I'm still feeling the burn. Is it just me or does this give a great shave??? I'm almost afraid to try again..lol.

I'm very sensitive to scents and I was a little worried about getting Speick products initially. I'd received a small bath/hand soap sample from a vendor and I found it a little overpowering. I eventually got the shave stick, cream and even the aftershave splash and I like them all a lot. The scent in all of those products is much more muted than the bath soap IMO. I love the shave stick and it's one of my favorites. I think the scent is actually fairly subtle - definitely subtler than the cream, and even that is not particularly strong.
I say all of this as a migraine sufferer who's super sensitive to a lot of scents (I've had to unload lots of shaving products due to that). I recognize that scents are really subjective, though.

YMMV - I use a Speick shave stick and love it. One thing to keep in mind is that the Speick is a tallow soap e.g. hard. I dip the very tip into hot water while I am prepping to soften it up a bit before rubbing on my face. This is not probably necessary with softer sticks.
I love my Speick products, especially the soap stick (milled down). I have sensitive skin and have no problem with it at all. It provides me a very close shave every time I use it. I find the soap has good protection and is very slick, one of my favorites. The best part about using Speick soap or cream is looking forward to using my Speick A/S splash which I am absolutely in love with.

The scent gave me an "instant headache" and the lather was poor. This one went in the trash.

Not wild about the scent.
Speick: Love the smell, great gobs of slick easy lather, but for me I thought the protection lacked a bit. I get the occasional weeper with Speick, but not with my other soaps.
