So while visiting friends in Augsburg this weekend I stopped by a small druggerie because I've been meaning to grab some Speick AS lotion for a while (works great!) and on the same shelf I noticed the Speick shave stick as well. Now I'm a huge fan of the cream but I've never bothered trying any sort of stick. I mean, seriously, how could rubbing a stick of soap on your face leave enough to build any lather? But it was only €2, Speick doesnt make a puck, and The cream has never failed me so I bought it. Let me tell you how wrong I was! This lather was amazing! Very thick and creamy, even with my less than perfect brush. I even mixed a little bit of cream in a bowl to get some superlather going on my second pass (It didn't really need the cream's help!). The stuff's an A+. Grab a stick. It's well worth it. I just wish it had come in a tube...I went ahead and put some foil over the top. Great lather, great protection, great fresh scent. My face feels great.
