Origin of the word shaving cream

The origin of the term "shaving cream" can be traced back to the early 20th century when traditional shaving methods involved using a stiff brush and a messy mixture of water, soap, and lather to prep the skin before shaving. This process, while effective, could be a bit cumbersome and resulted in a lot of mess. Enter the invention of shaving cream. In 1924, a man named Jose C. Wharton created the first canned shaving cream, which he called "Wharton's Sen-Gel." At the time, it was hailed as a revolution in the world of shaving. The name "shaving cream" was chosen to differentiate this new product from the traditional lather that barbers and men used for shaving. The word "cream" was selected because the new product had a thicker, more luxurious texture than the soapy mixture that was used before. In the decades that followed, numerous variations of shaving cream hit the market, ranging from gel to foam. Today, the term "shaving cream" is commonplace and refers to any product that is applied to the skin before shaving to help soften and prepare it for the razor.
