It's not bad, lathering on the face, I don't mind it at all. The only trouble with this stick is that the foil ripped and so I took it completely off, and now it's a bit hard to store. As for the lather, was nice and creamy and did the job.
From memory I think I tried Speick a couple of years ago in the very first traveling box. From what I recall it worked fine but wasn't particularly fond of the scent.
That is the one thing that La toja had over speick - a plastic container to cover the soap for when your cardboard box eventually falls apart
And as for you @JayDee, wash your mouth out. Speick has a great scent.
As always YMMV.
