De Vergulde Hand shaving cream review

This is the cream version of De Vergulde Hand, the Dutch brand which has been around over 450 years.

Ease of lathering: 10/10--A pleasure to work with. So easy to get going.

Longevity of lather: 10/10--Very stable, so multi-passes are no problem.

General skincare: 8/10--Good. Quite soothing and protective.

Scent: 8/10--Very nice and classy. The soap version has a stronger scent.

Price: 10/10--Very cheap in Holland.

Would I buy again: 9/10--Oh yes. I do prefer the soap version, however.

This is a brand which I was introduced to by one of my dearest friends who is also a vendor at TSD. This young man lives in Holland, and he knows his shaving products very well. I love this cream because of its rich and stable lather, and it has a nice calming effect on the skin. For a wetshaver on a tight budget, De Vergulde Hand would be a great choice.

I wholeheartedly agree with Jeff on this review of DVH cream. I also prefer the soap version but of you prefer creams & have an opportunity to check this one out then you certainly should. The constant with DVH cream/soap is that they are stupid easy to lather. If you have lather problems with DVH then you need to revisit your class notes from Lathering 101.

Ingredients of this cream,please?
I did try the stick with excellent results.I bet that the cream is as good as the stick.

Here you go Teiste...

Brian :

just by reading those ingredients I know its gonna be an excellent cream.Reminds me of the outstanding german creams like Speick,Florena,Kappus,Anne Marie Borlind,etc on its ingredients.

Thanks a lot.

Well what can I say .... YMMV, you can get it in every city here, it's very cheap, it's ok but I only bought it once.

Brian, mine has been uncapped for a little over one day and when I'm done with the Italian soap column in the cabinet (2 more days) I bet it'll be ready to use. It's quite muted already.

You might already know, but the soap is available at Polycarpo, downtown Lisbon.
