De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap

De Vergulde Hand is one of the world's oldest shaving brands, dating back to 1554 when it was established in Amsterdam. The brand's name, which translates to 'The Gilded Hand,' reflects its long history and commitment to traditional wet shaving craftsmanship. For centuries, it has remained a staple in Dutch households, known for its high-quality shaving soaps and grooming products.

Originally a local artisanal soap works, the brand has navigated over 450 years of ownership changes while maintaining its core identity. Today, it is part of the International Beauty Group, a Dutch company specializing in high-end personal care brands. While it preserves its heritage-driven formulations, the manufacturing and distribution are handled under modern professional standards, primarily within the Netherlands, ensuring it remains a premier European grooming heritage brand.
