Reviews mention

  • Smooth, close-shave performance

  • Attractive, magnetic shower holder

  • Occasional nicks and irritation
  • Overpowering or sour fragrance notes

Athena Club earns strong reviews for delivering a smooth, close shave with sharp, durable blades, a weighted handle, and a magnetic shower holder, and many also praise its deodorant, shave oil, and body wash scents. Reviews also flag inconsistent blade longevity, occasional nicks during the break‑in period, overpowering or off scents for some, bulky packaging, and frustration with subscription management and customer service—making the products appealing if performance and design matter, but caution warranted for those sensitive to subscriptions.

  • I found Athena Club's razors to perform well and last for multiple shaves. Their ordering process is straight forward, and I like that they offer other products in addition to razors. I would like some funkier designed razor handles in the future!

  • I switched to Athena Club once Billie changed their formula. With Billie, it got to the point where I was getting cut and irritated for no reason. Athena is thankfully not like that. I can get a close shave without completely slashing up my skin, and the lubricating "bars" around the razor really help. I do not recommend skipping the shaving cream, however. I know some of the ads show someone just shaving with water: don't do it. The handle holds up well, and I like the magnetic holder you stick to the wall. The holder is also very well made and hasn't been sliding off the wall. I wish there wasn't so much plastic with the shipments. It's seriously a lot. I understand individually wrapping the razors, but it would be nice if they didn't have the little trays for each.

    Keep the razor dry when not in use. Also, I wish they wouldn't get dull as quickly.

  • One of my favorite razor brands! I love that this company offers more than just razors.. makes one-stop shopping super easy! I’ve tried the shave foam & body wash which have both been gentle enough for me to use with sensitive skin. Highly recommend!

  • Really nice razor that doesn't have any crazy smells or leaves a really nice smooth shave. It also comes with a really nice shower holder that actually sticks to the wall. My only complaint is that they aren't on amazon for reorders.

  • Its a simple razor that works. I really love their refill program, and doesnt break the bank like some other razor companies. If you just need something that works and holds up, this is it!

  • By far the best razor I’ve ever used in my life. The tampons are great too. Wish I could buy refills not on subscription though.

  • Pros: great razor at a good price Cons: I have way too many because of the subscription I would prefer to order the razor blades heads when I need them vs being on a subscription. Managing the subscription requires more attention and effort than I care for.

    Great product if you are good about staying on top of your subscription.

  • I currently use Athena Club for my period care products. The pads and liners work well enough for me, but I don’t find them significantly different than other brands I’ve tried before. I do like having a subscription for something that I need on regular rotation though! I also tried their body wash before they introduced the current versions, but I didn’t love the strong coconut scent at the time.

    As with most subscription services, I wish there were reminders before the next month is billed in case I want to adjust or make last minute changes.

  • Love these razors! I have a difficult time trying to find razors that are gentle but still provide a close shave. Athena Club razors do both. I don’t experience any irritation or redness and they leave my skin feeling smooth and silky. It’s also convenient to have the refills delivered.

  • I loved the scent of the products and was surprised with how much the shaving cream foamed up! I have had the razor in my shower for a month and it hasn't gotten moldy like other razors have.

  • I've been a happy Athena subscriber for over 3 years. I never run out of razors anymore!.

  • I subscribe to Athena club for my glorious tampons. I was tired of spending so much at CVS, and I do feel like this brand saves me some $$ that fun, freeing time of month. I also like that they are clean & sustainable, something I hadn't thought about re: tampons before, but when you think about it, it reallllly makes sense to use a clean brand. Can't speak to their shaving products, but I'm open to trying because I've had a good experience with the tamps.

    Lots of packaging. Would love to see more sustainability in their shipping.

  • I have had Athena's razor subscription and after 2 years I am still loving it! The only reason for 4/5 is that my razor is now starting to fall apart and I am not a fan of their other products. But they have excellent customer service, packaging, and quick shipping!

    Feedback

    Better reminder emails for subscription shipments and management would be amazing! I have an overflow of razors due to being unaware of the shipments.

  • I switched from using a mens razor to using an Athena razor and honestly I cannot reccommend. I have a lot of hair and my razor was always getting full of hair and it was pretty difficult to clean up to then go and use again.

  • I really loved all of the scents on the products and worked really well for my sensitive skin. I liked how it nourished my skin without making it overly greasy. Staff were extremely nice and customer service was awesome. Sent a brand new package when mine spilled in shipping. Thank you!

  • Fast shipping and no complaints on their quality and packaging of tampons. Recently made the switch from a competing brand. However for a subscription-based product, I find it absurd that one can't customize their order. In order to do so, you have to cancel your current subscription and start another! Makes absolutely no sense!

  • I wasn't expecting much from these since I hadn't heard much about them but I had a coupon code to get a box for free so figured I'd try it. I was pleasantly surprised. They came in a really nice durable drawer like pull out box and 2 - 3 extra blades. Pretty color. And the razors themselves were pretty decent. I prefer a closer shave than these give but not bad at all

  • The razors are well-made and last for a good amount of time before needing to be replaced. The design makes them easy to use, and they've been very safe. Mine came with a magnetic hanger, which helps reduce clutter and makes storage and retrieval much easier.
