What’s a Shave Cream Pie?

A shaving cream pie is used for comedy or mockery, not as an edible dessert. It can be made easily using a lightweight pan and shaving cream. It is often used as a prop in comedy and can cause eye irritation or injuries if not used properly. Whipped cream is not used due to cost and spoilage issues.

A shaving cream pie is intended as an item used for comedy or mockery, and is not actually intended as an edible dessert like other types of pie. It can be created using a crust, but a light tin cake pan is enough, which is then filled with shaving cream. The intended purpose is to create something that looks like a cream cake, but doesn’t have the chance to spoil. A pie of shaving cream isn’t necessarily dangerous, although injuries can occur from someone being “pinched,” and the ingredients in a shaving cream can cause eye irritation.

The most common use of a shaving cream pie is in comedy, where it is often a prop that is thrown in someone’s face. This causes an audible and visible “splat” as the shaving cream explodes from the pressure of the pan hitting the target’s face. Such a collision does not happen fast enough to injure a person, but instead makes the target look ridiculous as their face is covered in shaving cream afterwards. Because of this comical aspect, some activists have used these objects to make politicians or celebrities look ridiculous, by hitting them with such a pie during a speech or other public event.

A shaving cream pie can be made quite easily, simply by using a lightweight pan and filling it with an appropriate amount of shaving cream. This cream can come from a can or other source, although some people prefer to use soap and water to make their own. While a pie crust isn’t really needed in the pan, it can be included for a fuller pie. The overall effect is meant to create something that looks like a whipped cream pie, but uses shaving cream instead.

Whipped cream isn’t used for a variety of different reasons, including that it can stain clothes and is often more expensive than shaving cream. Because whipped cream is a dairy product, it can also go rancid, while a shave cream pie doesn’t contain dairy. Using a shaving cream pie is not without consequences, however, such as the possibility of injury when someone attempts to dodge or deflect such a pie. Commercial shaving cream ingredients, such as menthol, can also cause eye and nose irritation, which typically causes no long-term effects but can still be painful.
