Howdy senleo-ga,
"Can a case of shaving cream be mailed to Europe from the US? (Aerosol) AND
(ORM-D)?"
No, it can't be mailed ORM-D.
United States Postal Service - "Appendix D Hazardous Materials Definitions"
http://pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52d.html
"ORM-D category is recognized for use within the United States only. ORM-D
materials cannot be sent in international mail."
"If NO, how can one ship it?"
You can possibly ship it, with some possible restrictions, via Federal Express
(FedEx) or United Parcel Service (UPS).

You should read the above pages in detail to see what both companies offer.
Both FedEx and UPS have their own specifc rules, regulations and limitations
that must be followed, so you are best off calling them and seeing what hoops
must be jumped through in order to get your shaving cream shipped.
