OMG...! Proraso is pure CRUD IMO against Speick Stick & yes I have used both.I’m not as in love with it as others but speick stick performs well. I personally rank near Proraso red but a bit better. I prefer arko performance (minus the scent).
Speick ranks well below haslinger and MWF for me as well as newer artisans. Didn’t make the cut for a keeper in my small five soap den.

I was not trying to Attack your opinion on Proraso but, I used to use it frequently & found out the Speick offers way more neck protection for me. If the soaps you use give you good protection there is no need to toss them IMO.Haha. I didn’t mean to start a Proraso vs speick thread. Maybe I’m just found of Proraso red croap. I guess this means I’ll just have to revisit speick. (It’s definitely not in same league as haslinger, mwf, and wholly kaw to me though).
Such strong defenders of it.[emoji16]. You guys must really like it.

I tried it again yesterday. I think the issue was I didn't apply enough. This time I more or less did what you said in this post and really worked it in to my stubble, got much better results.I used to use Speick as my go-to travel soap, but these days its place has been usurped by a Palmolive stick I got in Belgium last year.
That being said, I find Speick is a fine soap that lathers well. It's a hard stick--much harder than Tabac or Arko, for instance--and it takes a little more work to apply enough product to your face to generate a good lather. (It's like Palmolive in that respect.) I'd begin by wetting the stick and your face, rubbing the stick in until you get a light but visible coating on your stubble, and then working up your lather starting with a fairly dry brush and adding water as you go. Sounds like work, but it really isn't, and the lather is, again, really nice once you get it dialed in.
I really like the cream
