Van Der Hagen - Scented Luxury Soap

[The Count of Merkur Cristo]

Airboune:
My first soap was Williams and I was a Deluxe man for a while until I tried the Luxury Scented and

...what a difference!!

The Luxury Scented out-shinned the Deluxe (which was then my 'go-to' soap), in terms of ingredients, lather, lubrication, cushion, glide and scent. I also add 10 drops of glycerin per puck (and about 10 drops of Clubman Club Royale), before I melt it (nuke), for 'Überlather', extra lubrication, cushion, glide and scent .

"It's time to start shaving like a Van der Hagen man". VDH Slogan

 

[JohnPD]

I think the VDH soap is great, it lathers as well as my expensive AoS soap

 

[BJ Sands]

Great lather and great protection. I love it.

My wife hates it.

I recently gave it a spin and was floored by how good it is, especially considering its modest price. I told my wife and she wondered why I spend so much on soaps if I can get a good product for under $5 at CVS. She was also annoyed I used such an inexpensive product when I've dished out a lot of cash on more expensive ones.

Sometimes, you just can't win.

For the money, you can't go wrong. In that price range I'd consider it a really good soap. I use it in my rotation regularly.

I tried VDH soap in my shaving travel kit recently and was very impressed with it. It build a nice, rich lather and is pretty slick. All in all, its a great soap for the money, if not a great soap, period.

What do you put the puck in for travel? Right now I have a tube of TOBS Sandalwood for travel, but for the price point this may be the way to go.

 

[Deltaboy]

I like it and it in my HEB now days.

 

[DCRIII]

It does the job well! It's certainly worth the money to buy a couple!

I just leave it in the plastic container that it comes in.

I just leave it in the plastic container that it comes in.

Ok cool - I incorrectly assumed it was just a paper wrapped puck. Good to know it comes in a container.

 

[Rory1262]

I'd like to try VDH but have much to consume before I do.

VdH soaps are a very very good product.
Their lather is comparable to soaps costing a lot more.
I happened to use the basic glycerin VdH today before seeing this thread.
Was surprised with the excellent results!!
When I run out I plan on buying more to use in my soap rotation.

 

[JohnPD]

I found them recently on sale at my local CVS pharmacy. Two for 6.99, so I definitely picked of a few

 

[Dadeg8r]

I bought a puck to put in a mug for my 4 year old to use while WE shave on weekends since it was cheap for him to play with. I whipped up a lather in his bowl and was surprised at how well and quickly it worked up. Of course he wouldn't let me try it...maybe today!

 

[echotron]

I just bought one -VDH- at my local Rite-Aid store ... it was in the clearance bin for $1.24 ! There was another one left, I reckon I'll go back and get it.

 

[Hoka Hey]

Quite a while ago, I remember reading that VDH got its start as a soap maker, prior to branching out.

 

[Kreator82]

I am currently using a puck of VDH Luxury, and I like it. I have definitely gotten my $2 worth. (I found it in a Wal-Mart clearance section)

 

[ColonelHogan]

Today's Van der Hagen soaps were labeled as Surrey products for years & years.

 

[icimachine]

It's extremely good. I was pleasantly surprised, and the value for money is rather good.

 

[DudeMan]

I love the VDH scented Luxury soap! Great scent, great performance, great price and available locally.

First time I seen this thread.

I started January of last year and the Luxury kit was what I ordered along with an extra 3 pack off of Amazon. The scent isn't the greatest but the soap is pretty much my go to when I am having other problems and want to eliminate the soap factor. I started picking up other soaps and even bought the touted MdC and I think the Luxury outperforms it in my book, JMO. I then found the VDH experiment thread and melted it down and added Old Spice Cologne(1980's good stuff) and I liked it even more after that. I have actually used that up and have another one mixed up with a little English Leather(again the '80's stuff) but could have have used more. It is still in my rotation of about 9 other soaps so it still gets used. This soap lathers so easy and to me is a good thing for the beginners. After I acquired a bunch of soaps i decided when I would use this stuff I decided since it was cheap to load it you stole it and I found it is even better when loaded heavy. I now treat most of my soaps with this practice and have enjoyed them all even more.
