Target Shoppers Are ‘Absolutely Obsessed’ With This Ultra-Smoothing Travel Razor

Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!

When you’re traveling there’s already enough to pack in your luggage, so the last thing you want is to be left wondering where you will store your trusted razor. Most razors have a classic design — some are heavier than others, but they’re always too large to store in a small toiletry bag. That’s where Athena Club enters the chat: The brand’s new mini razor saves space and is perfect for taking on the go — only $10 at Target!

Related: The Best Shaving Creams for Sensitive Skin

The Athena Club Mini Razor eliminates the need to carry a clunky shaver when traveling. Better yet, it helps to save space in your shower. The mini razor gives a precision shave on-the-go thanks to the no-slip ergonomic handle made from soft silicon. Five stainless steel blades are intentionally spaced out to prevent cuts while shaving. The blades are cushioned for additional safety skin guards, which leave the skin smooth and soft. The razor also features serum-infused glide strips packed with shea butter, avocado oil and a gentle water-activated hyaluronic acid serum that hydrates the skin. What more could you ask for?

Get the Athena Club Mini Razor for $10 at Target!

You also don’t have to purchase an additional razor hanger since it already comes with a magnetic one! To sweeten the deal, Athena provides two replaceable blade cartridges.

Shoppers are raving about the mini razor. They praise its TSA approval and the accuracy of the shave it provides.

“I already love Athena products; now I have an adventure-ready, TSA-approved, and simple-to-pack razor to go!” one exclaimed.

“I’m absolutely obsessed with the mini razor!” another shared. “Not only is it adorable, but it works so well. I get the same perfect shave as a regular-sized razor (which is hard to find in a mini), and the travel case keeps my bag mess-free. It’s been perfect for my summer travels!”

Don’t wait! Head to Target now to see how tiny, but mighty the mini razor is.

History of Rostov Oblast

In ancient times, the territory around the Don River was part of the region called Scythia (the Greeks), Stsitiya or Tanais named after the Tanais River, the present Don River (the Romans), Sarmatia (the Roman historians of the 1st century). In Russian chronicles of the 14th and 15th centuries, this land was called “Field” or “Wild Field”. Since the second half of the 16th century, the Moscow tsars, starting with Ivan the Terrible, already called all Cossack land simply “Don”.

The ancient people settled in the lands along the Don River since the Stone Age. In the 8th-7th centuries B.C., the Scythians began to settle in the steppes to the north of the Black Sea, between the Don and the Danube. Settlements on the territory of the present Rostov region were first mentioned by Herodotus. A lot of archaeological finds were found in numerous Scythian burial mounds: iron swords, daggers, special items of horse decoration, golden and silver items.

In the 6th-5th centuries B.C., the Greeks began colonization of coastal areas of the Black Sea. In 480 B.C., their largest towns (Olvia, Tira, Hersonissos) united in the kingdom of Bosporus with the capital in Panticapaeum (present Kerch). It was engaged in active trade with the Mediterranean towns.

After long and turbulent history with periods of prosperity and decline, the Greek towns fell under the blows of nomadic peoples migrating through the Don steppes from East to West. For several centuries, this flourishing region turned into a wasteland.

More Historical Facts…

In the 4th century, the Avars settled on the Don land. After them the Khazars came here, who founded their settlements and built a fortress called Sarkel. Constantly raiding the southern lands of Kievan Rus, they were a serious threat to the Old Russian state.

Later, the Pechenegs came here and the Polovtsian tribes after them. The Polovtsi captured the steppe areas of the Don, Kuban, the Azov Sea and ravaged the outskirts of Kievan Rus for decades reaching Pereyaslavl, Chernihiv and even Kiev.

In the early 13th century, the first wave of the Mongol invasion reached the Russian land. In 1223, the combined forces of the Russian princes and the Polovtsi clashed with the Mongols in the Battle of the Kalka River (the tributary of the Kalmius, which flows into the Azov Sea to the north of the Don). Due to poor coordination Russian and Polovtsian troops suffered a complete defeat.

It was the beginning of the period of Russian history known as the Mongol yoke, which lasted until 1480. In the 1470s, the Azov steppes were occupied by the Turks of the Ottoman Empire and became a constant threat on the south-eastern borders of Russia.

In the mid-16th century, runaway serfs began to settle in the area of the Don River. Later, they became known as the Don Cossacks. In 1560, the Cossack town of Cherkassk was founded. Gradually, from the late 16th - early 17th centuries, the Cossacks began to cooperate with the Russian military, economic and political systems.

In the 18th century, the land of the Don Cossacks became part of the Russian Empire and lost its autonomy. The Cossacks actively opposed this fact, which led to the peasant wars and uprisings headed by Stepan Razin, Kondrat Bulavin, Emelyan Pugachev. The Cossacks were included in the Russian army as irregular troops. They had special rights and privileges. The Cossacks were good soldiers and participated in all military campaigns conducted by the Russian Empire.

By the end of the 18th century, about 225 thousand people lived in the Don region, half a century later - 775 thousand. By the middle of the 19th century, two centers formed on the Don: Novocherkassk (military and administrative center) and Rostov-on-Don (industrial and commercial center). In 1859, the population of the region was about 900 thousand.

During the Russian Civil War, this region was one of the centers of the White movement and became the scene of bloody battles. The final blow to the Don Cossacks, who survived in the Soviet Union after the Civil War, was decossackization, dispossession and famine of 1932-1933. Rostov Oblast was established in 1937.

The shooting of a peaceful demonstration in Novocherkassk became the blackest page in the history of the 1960s. On June 2, 1962, employees of the local electric locomotive plant with their families came to the rally with demands for higher wages. In response, the troops were deployed in the city. When people tried to break through to the building of the city executive committee, the troops opened fire. According to official figures, 26 people were killed and 87 wounded.
