Reviews mention

  • Smooth, close-shave performance
  • Weighted, ergonomic razor handle
  • Attractive, magnetic shower holder

  • Inconsistent blade longevity reports
  • Occasional nicks and irritation
  • Overpowering or sour fragrance notes
  • Shower holder adhesion issues

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 would give it 0 stars if that was an option. Run as fast as you can AWAY from this product!!!!! They are the WORST!!! I cancelled my subscription after one month and they keep charging me for refill razors! I’ve wrote numerous emails and talked to the so called manager Emily. They won’t refund my money or let me return the unused razors. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM EVER!!!!! This company will take your money month after month! Don’t even bother trying to reach their customer service because is ridiculous. Save your money and learn from my mistake. They are running a scheme to steal your money!

  • I went over the same area 10x and it still didn’t take off all the hair. The goo is too think, so the razor just picks up the goo, no hairs. Worst razor I’ve had in my life. It is pretty though - I live the sleek look.

  • I loved Athena Club in the beginning. I order a year at a time due to travel for work. The first year, I was overall very satisfied. I would get the occasional package of razors that just didn’t shave as close as the others but mostly they were great. Even though the packaging is excellent, with each razor individually packaged as well as put in an additional zippered pouch, I thought moisture or something must have compromised the razors that didn’t perform as well. When I reordered this year, I paid the 9.99 for a new razor which includes 1 razor head. It was excellent. Shaved closely with just my body wash, no shaving cream needed but my skin normally doesn’t require it. However, the quality of the year’s worth of refills I ordered and received are not the same. I shave every night and instead of being smooth for 24 hours, I feel prickly the very next morning. This doesn’t seem to be a fluke. I have yet to open a new refill and get the close shave I’m accustomed to from this brand and received with the actual new razor. Very disappointed and shopping for another option unfortunately. As far as ordering or canceling difficulties, I’ve had none. I always read the terms before I subscribe and I’ve had no issues pausing or canceling. I was surprised with an order at an old address once but that was on me, not them. I failed to update it when we moved again.

  • Athena has terrible customer service and a shady business model. After my first shipment I was so unsatisfied I cancelled. Then this month now I have another charge. You don’t no warning. No emails sent out leading up to a charge or shipment. Athena refuses to refund the unauthorized charge. Additionally you cannot remove your payment method from your account. The “remove” button is grayed out. You have to contact customer service and argue with them about having your entire account deleted in order for your payment method to be removed. Dishonorable and shady. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. They removed my comments on social media that I left on their page, sharing my experience. Additionally, the razors are just not good. Nicks and cuts no matter how little pressure your apply.

    I have gotten the same type of response from them when items did not show up, with them not giving a refund, iust a credit. They were even somehow able to use an expired card for a subscription order and charge us, and ship an order I was not even aware thav was coming up, as I have never got an emai informing me of my upcoming subscription order coming up as most other companies do when it deals with product orders. I have plenty of blades and was going to skip at this time, but I only got an email confirming my order and not a way that I seen to cancel. Anytime in the past I have had to cancel,I have had to contact them directly with hopes that they got the email soon enough to undo my order. Only ever given store credit, though. This time. after my order went through and yet again was not sent a heads up email about my upcoming subscription (not monthly, but many months apart, so it is even needed more so than say a monthly subscription), I canceled my subscription with them. To which they shippec out my order and told me it doesn't come with a tracking number. No reason given. I have USPS acct where it notifies me of my mail and packages, and it initially had a tracking number and it shows that the tracking number was canceled by them. Seems shady. I emailed them about it and am awaiting their reply, because the act definitelvy seems shady.

  • The best razor I've ever used! Incredibly smooth, close shave. And looks so beautiful in my shower.

  • Athena has terrible customer service and a shady business model. Customers are not able to cancel their subscriptions from their account, only pause. I was charged for a shipment I did not approve on a paused subscription with no warning. No emails sent out leading up to a charge or shipment. Athena refuses to refund the unauthorized charge. Additionally you cannot remove your payment method from your account. The “remove” button is grayed out. You have to contact customer service and argue with them about having your entire account deleted in order for your payment method to be removed. Dishonorable and shady. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. They removed my comments on social media that I left on their page, sharing my experience. Dishonest company. Additionally, the razors are just not good. Nicks and cuts no matter how little pressure your apply.

  • I love Athena Club! Their razors are amazing! I mean literally the best I have ever used! I have also been using their deodorant and I must say it's the best natural deodorant I have ever used and I have used a lot of different ones! Body wash and lotion are great and really help with my dry skin and psoriasis issues. Just started using the probiotic and excited to see how I feel! Their customer service is great and products always ship quickly and on time!

    I would love to see more products and scents from Athena Club in the future as I will for sure get them! I would suggest you try the brand though because it's really a lot better from a performance and ingredient standpoint than any other brand out there!

  • Easily one of the best and smoothest shaves that I have ever had. Cant recommend this product and company enough

  • Shady and scummy company with awful customer service. I placed two initial orders from them due to ads, one for the starter shaving kit and one for deodorant. Both took many weeks to even be shipped, then both were marked as 'delivered' on UPS's site - NEITHER ever showed up (and I have received many UPS packages at this address with no issue). When contacted, customer service refused to offer a refund because the packages were marked delivered, only offering store credit. Trying to give the company another chance, I took the credit and used it to purchase another deodorant. Unsurprisingly, it has been weeks without the package being shipped. Stay away from this company.

    Don't waste your money on packages that will never arrive.
