Reddit mentions of Speick Shave Cream - 2.5 fl. oz.

Honestly, I would go with a Gillette Slim Adjustable. You can get them from 20-50 bucks on eBay and they are a razor that will last for ever. I've got nothing but great things to say about them. Being adjustable if you have a trouble spot dial it down and viola. Here is one for 28 bucks
I cannot recommend this razor enough. It shaves like a Gillette Fatboy but at a fraction of the cost.

Tube is fine. I've used Proraso green, Speick and Jack Black Beard Lube they all did ok. Still have them for traveling but at the house I foam up. I get a much better shave and less irritation if I use Checke and Speake pucks. YMMV It really doesn't take me that much longer in the morning to make a lather than out of a tube.

Edit: added and checked links

Edit 2: I'm a dumbass

Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89

Brush: Fendrihan Synthetic

Shaving Cream: Speick (currently overpriced)

Or if you want to go for a Shaving Soap:

Shaving Soap: PdP 63

or

B&M Latha Oceana

AfterShave: Nivea Sensitive Cooling (or get one from local drugstore, walmart etc (non cooling version))

Blades: Get this from tryablade.com

But if I were you:

I would get: the DE89 razor from Amazon, a 22mm synthetic brush from Maggard Razors, B&M Seville Shave soap/Speick Shave Cream from Maggard Razors, Blade Sampler from tryablade, and nivea aftershave balm sensitive from Local stores

Speick. Dude, please buy a tube of Speick, It comes in a manly lavender scent. It's amazing. Everyone I've ever sampled it out to has loved it as much as I have. 2.5oz tubes are perfect for travel too. Amazon is $3 higher than everywhere else. Typically it's 6.50.

Edit: But it's German! Sorry. I read the title first and than responded too soon.

> My recommendation would be an unscented, non mentholated soap to rule out the allergic reaction

I tried a few German / Austrian creams / soaps that were recommended in a German shaving forum. A gentle soap that was rather popular was this one: Haslinger Ringelblumen (= marigold) Rasierseife. Unfortunately the lather was the worst and very hard to make. You can't really use it directly with a brush because the soap is very soft and the case is way too small. So you have to cut a piece off and use a mug. I might also be my rather hard water. I already bought citric acid, so I give that a try. Unless the citric acid is too harsh for my skin.

The Speick Shave Cream was one the milder ones, but it also gets uncomfortable after a while.

How long are you supposed to let the soap sit on your skin? I massaged it into my skin for about a minute and let it work for five minutes.

>A good recommendation for a soap would be Le Pere Lucien unscented.

I only found a few UK shops that have the soap in stock. Shipping from the UK is rather expensive and including shipping it would be 39 GBP ~ 46 EUR~ 48 USD. That's way too much for me and I already bought so many soaps and creams.

Go with the Semogue 620.

Soaps: Get some Chiseled Face! It's seriously great stuff, love Summer Storm. And itching to try Santa Paula.

I also like Proraso Red. and Speick. And a favorite of mine, the matching Speick splash

Thank you again.

Lastly, would the Speick shaving cream be fine? I really am a noob at this...

Well I chose a cream because I read that the soaps take longer to lather/prepare, and I really don't want to spend several minutes prepping soap/cream. I would want it to take at most 2 minutes, like regular shaving does.

I actually switched the Proraso cream for one that another user here recommended, Speick Shave Cream.

Is this the brush you recommended?

Looking to trade my Speik Shave Cream (over 90% remaining) for your Black Cherry, Lemony Orange and Orange Chill. The Speik has been transferred to a small wide-mouth leak proof container for easier loading.
