    Default 3 words... Van Der Hagen....

    I'm on such a Van Der Hagen kick right now it's not even funny. I just wish the presented their soaps in wooden bowls with fancy logos and stickers but then they would cost more I guess.

    Well, you can buy the fancy VDH luxury stuff. No wooden bowls though.

    I've got to try this stuff out. I keep passing it by when I visit the drug store attached to my GP's office . . .

    I get decent shaves with VDH, but prefer other soaps. It's nice to know that in a pinch, I could pick up a puck at the corner store and shave away.

    Try Col Conk too, pretty much the same thing, just more scents.
    Have a great shave!

    Might be similar ingredients, but the proportions of those ingredients are different: Luxury is supposed to have more skin goodies, it's also a much bigger size puck. It also has a different (and better) scent.

    VDH is OK, but I like Williams more.

    I have the deluxe, select, and luxury. I like the deluxe, I love the luxury, and I haven't tried the select yet. They are great performers for the price.

    I've used it exclusively for years. Before that, Williams and Colgate. Can't seem to find them anymore around here.

    Most definitely a +1!

    VDH lathers easily but that is about the only good asset of this stuff.

    It is said to be cheap but with only 25 shaves in a puck, give or take a few, it is in the rather expensive category imo and absolutely not giving what other soaps in that price-range deliver.

    But I have to admit; you can shave with it if you have to and it's an easy product to use when you are new in trying a brush and soap.

    VDH is a great soap. I find myself reaching for it more often than some of my better soaps.

    Some of the best shaves I get are the result of VDH. And for sure you can't beat the price.
