Ooh! Speick. I was just reading about their aftershave. How's the cream?

It's the best cream or tried yet. The whole Speick range is excellent - relatively cheap too.

Greetings
I agree 100%, Speick cream is the best cream I have tried and exactly the same applies to the stick, I grate them and it is the clear leader of all the soaps I have tried (Tabac follows a close second)

Regards
Dick.

Nice shave with this new to me blade, sent out (thanks) along with a few other types I will sample down the road. Yeah, it's a very positive first shave and we will see how this one ends up.

Finally jumped off that F type runaway train. It was getting to be a habit........
