Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'shaving' (the act of removing hair) with 'cream' (a topical preparation): a cream used for shaving. This head-modifier compound is a common, compositional pattern (e.g., 'crema de afeitar' in Spanish), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Shaving cream is a plain name: it is a cream you put on your face for shaving. The soft foam makes the beard easier to cut and helps the razor move smoothly, so the name now means the product used 'to shave'.
