Used Speick stick today. Thought it would pair well with a boar brush and it lathered up really nicely. Scent is great too. This is one of my favorites so far.

Used Spieck Stick for the first time today

Works even better with a badger, although a good boar is fine. Since the soap is already kind of smeared out and wet you don't need an aggressive brush. And yeah, Speick shave stick works great.
If you really want that Speick scent, you need the cream, followed by the aftershave spash. The soap is really lightly scented.

Speick-tacular shave!! I should do it more often!! Looks like I'll be needing a new bottle of AS pretty soon!!
I found the Speick soap a bit harder to lather than most. The lather wasn't bad or anything, but I just couldn't get the same "oomph" as with other soaps I've used.
Interestingly enough, I've a Speick shaving stick and AS en route as I type. I'm looking forward to it!
I just shaved with it this morning. It provided a great shave even though my blade is on it's 6th or 7th use. It is lightly scented which some may like but I personally would like it to pack more of a punch.
My Speick *** (both splash and balm) smell nothing like the cream. I really wish it did though, because I love the way the cream smells.

So far, Spieck is the only soap that I just couldn't use. The lather was poor in comparison to any other soap I've tried and the scent gave me an instant headache.

Speick!
Actually, yeah - that's it exactly. A relative of Spikenard I understand.The soap scent is quite light - the cream is a lot stronger.
If you google speick plant, you will find more.
Valeriana celtica is another hit for speick plant.

I shaved w/ it last night. Holy Mother of Lather!!! Do I dare say the lather rivaled Tabac? I think so. The lather was thick, slick and very full of cushion. My post shave routine is to rinse off w/ hot water, re-lather, clean up, rinse left over lather off w/ warm and then cold water. I pat my face dry and let it air dry while I clean up some more. I then use Thayer's w/ aloe. This is great for Tabac and MWF as my face feels real nice afterwards. Last night w/ the Speick it actually felt sticky. Kind of weird. I don't think I used any more than usual. This is why I love wet shaving. Now I have to find the right post shave combo for Speick. I'm going to have to start keeping a log of various combos.

I haven't tried Speick AS yet. I have some on order. I used AV classic AS yesterday and I thought it paired well with the Speick scent. But then again, I kinda like AV with everything.
