    I also heard it was pronounced Spike

    Not that I am a linguist, but one thing I did pick up on during my three years in Germany was this rule of thumb:
    When two vowels are together, pronounce the second one long.

    For example: stein (as in beer stein) is "stine"

    Per this German vid:


    Die richtige Aussprache ist: "Sch-pike" or "Sh-pike" with a long 'I'; 'e' is silent.

    I also enjoy Speick. Great healing properties and unique scent.

    I have yet to use any of their products but have ordered a tube of their shaving cream. Hopefully I'll have it in the mail Friday. A bottle of the AS is definitely going on my wish list.

    If you don't love it, you'll have no shortage of volunteers to take it off your hands.

    Interesting. I always thought it was a more new-school product. I wonder how old the splash is?

    Speick splash is actually harvested from the sweat of mystical Bavarian Forest Nymphs.

    I loved the scent of the SC but for some reason I had an allergic reaction to it. That was quite a bummer to find out since i loved its performance, but At least I can use the Balm and Splash. Fortunately Speick Active Shave Soap is now available stats side, but it isn't cheap.

    The shave stick is a great performer, easily the equal of Palmolive stick. (It's no Arko though).
