De Vergulde Hand is one of the world's oldest shaving brands, with its history dating back to 1554 in Amsterdam. The name, which translates to 'The Gilded Hand,' originally came from a soap-making workshop located in the city. For centuries, it has been a staple in Dutch bathrooms, known for its traditional approach to male grooming and high-quality shaving products formulated for sensitive skin.

Today, the brand is owned by the Dutch company Bolton Adhesives (part of the Bolton Group), and its products continue to be primarily manufactured in the Netherlands. The brand maintains a strong cultural identity as a heritage Dutch product, while under the umbrella of a larger international conglomerate that manages various household and personal care brands.
