I've been meaning to ask you, because from what I gather you live in Germany... Is Speick pretty widely available there? I really like the cream and I imagine an oasis where it's available everywhere for a few Euros.
Yup, I live in good old Germany. Even here in East Germany (former GDR), Speick is widely available in drugstores and supermarkets. Of course the cream is the most available product here and it's actually quite cheap. Together with Palmolive creams, they are the only options for shaving cream that's readily available here. The aftershave is also available almost everywhere. Then they also have "Speick Active Men" soap with a grey label instead of blue. This one's more citrus forward so not my cup of tea, I actually like the original scent much better. Speick used to have a soap stick too, but unfortunately that was discontinued.
I think the stick is still being sold.
Yes, on their website and some german-speaking webshops. Unfortunately it disappeared from the shelves in all drugstores and supermarkets around here, no idea why ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
