The Vergulde Hand soap is pretty good. I'm not a big fan of the scent myself which is why I gave it away to someone. But at 1.50 euro's it's definately worth the gamble.crackstar said:LX, I know this is a late answer, but I heard a lot of good things about De Vergulde Hand shaving soap, and I will be getting some in soon. I heard it smells very nice as well. A couple of years ago, I had the Palmolive soap stick, and I thought it was excellent as well.

Whoa, whoa, whoa commandante Arko! It is not that it is cheap, it is inexpensive...crackstar said:Man, that's not terribly expensive, LX. If you want to really know about a good soap that's super cheap, try Arko. In Turkey where it's from, you'll probably pay 50 cents, maybe even less in some places.

Suzuki said:The De Vergulde Hand cream (not the soap) is also very cheap - 3 Euros.
Its decent, but no more - for about the same price, the Palmolive and Nivea are better products.
As for the Arko, I've only tried the soap - lathers well, does the job and is dirt cheap. I just find the scent too reminiscent of industrial cleaner and very strong. My shaving bag still smells like it - despite having removed the soap (which was in a ziploc bag) over a month ago!
SSLStudio said:Thanks for the heads up, Crackstar can do without it then I havent seen the vergulde hand cream in the stores though anyways I better get going and see if the Truck I rented to bring the package to the post office for Jeff has arrived yet. monster weighs 1000 grams my poor back. filled with goodies that only fits an Arko King![]()
Suzuki said:Having said that, the De Vergulde Hand a/s balsam is pretty good, but it costs about 8 Euros.
I can't believe Jeff wants MORE Arko, he'll have to shave about 10 times a day to use up his stock - not including what you're sending to him!
