    Thank you, Gary!
    I LOVE Speick! But it is not really like the scent of Alt Innsbruck. They do have a very similar face feel though - light and refreshing. Speick has that nice, pleasant, healing, just so slight herbal medicinal touch to it. Alt Innsbruck is in a similar category, but has more of a natural, elegant, earthy tobacco flower note; but not an overly "floral" flower scent like you'd find with a rose, lilac or violet. I hope that makes sense. Alt Innsbruck has more menthol than Speick too, which blends perfectly with the tobacco flower.

    Thanks Joseph! It's one of the reasons why I bought it.

    Excellent shave, Evan! I must get my hands on some of that Spanish Aqua Velva! Every place I see it sold though charges as much for shipping as the aftershave. I've seen the 400ml bottle too which I may entertain purchasing if I get some.

    I haven't tried the other orange-scented soaps, but this soap checks all the boxes for me.

    I would say that is an effective shave Evan. I would not characterize it as lazy.

    Thanks Andrew! I got mine from smallflower.com. It looks like they're sold out right now. I ordered some from Spain but it never showed up and I had to dispute the charges after waiting 3 months. Small Flower made it easy.

    You should like it! Alt Innsbruck has a unique scent unlike any other aftershave that I have.
    I would also put La Toja aftershave in the similar category as Speick (as far as feeling light, herbal medicinal, healing and refreshing on the skin). Plus, you can get 200 ml of La Toja from Maggards for $12.
