Last time we checked, shaving cream didn’t come in a bag. And it also didn’t come portioned out in a pod that looks like dishwashing detergent. Pacific Shaving Company’s Single-Use Shaving Cream Minis (pick them up for $7 at Amazon) manages to be both of these things. It’s the greatest grooming accessory we didn’t know we needed.

The company likes to shake things up with creative packaging approaches. In early 2017, Pacific Shaving began to roll out Single-Use Shaving Cream Minis, packaged in precisely measured one-pod-per-shave units. The pod dissolves with water in the palms to become a rich lather (go to pwgo.to/2754 to see a demonstration).

Dissolvable film has enabled single-use versions of many non-solid products that otherwise could only be packaged in bulk, including personal care and household products such as laundry detergent and shampoo, and foods like liquid flavorings.
