Out of all the steps that constitute your everything shower, shaving is probably the least exciting (that’s if you choose to shave, of course). But with their brand-new shaving cream that’s packaged like a bottle of whipped cream, Athena Club is out to make the dreaded task much more fun.

The latest launch from the affordable yet indulgent grooming brand, Athena Club’s Whipped Shave Cream looks, smells, and applies like everyone’s favorite dessert topper — and at just $7, it’s a budget-friendly way to spark a little joy when you step into the shower.

Fast Facts:

  • Key benefits: protects skin while shaving, hydrates
  • Key ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin E, glycerin, soybean oil
  • Has a sweet vanilla scent
  • Cruelty-free
  • Vegan

Complete with a pastel-colored can, Athena Club’s Whipped Shave Cream dispenses a swirl of fluffy foam with every press of the nozzle. The rich cream helps to create a layer of protection between your skin and the razor blade as you shave, and nourishing ingredients like vitamin E, glycerin, and soybean oil soften and soothe. As you smooth the shaving cream over your skin, you’ll also notice its dessert-inspired scent, which blends notes of vanilla, sugar cane, and sandalwood for a sweet but subtle fragrance. Despite the fragrance, the brand notes that the formula has undergone third-party testing and is dermatologist-approved for sensitive skin types.

Use It With:

Of course, your shaving cream is just one part of your shaving routine, and is really just the supporting player to the star of the show: your razor. In addition to using a good shaving cream and shaving towards the end of your shower when your hair has been softened, you always want to make sure that your razor is sharp to help avoid irritation and ingrowns. Athena Club makes having a fresh razor on hand easier with its Razor Kit, which lets you choose how often you’d like refills to be sent based on your preferences (though you can also make a one-time purchase for $10). The razor itself was created to help minimize the risk of irritation by pairing five blades with a hyaluronic acid moisturizing strip, and the kit comes complete with two blade cartridges, an ergonomic razor handle that comes in 12 colors, and a magnetic storage handle for keeping it secure in your shower.

And if you’re really going for a thorough everything shower, prep your skin before you shave with the brand’s Gentle Sugar Scrub. Sugar crystals and papaya fruit ferment in the formula gently exfoliate the skin, which gives you a smoother surface for shaving and helps to prevent ingrown hairs by removing dead skin cells that can otherwise trap the hair as it grows back. Designed to be massaged into the skin after your body wash, the scrub also helps to restore moisture with ingredients like argan oil, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid.
