Billie Razor vs. Flamingo Razor Review | Which one should you buy? | This or That

[@IsabellaBianchii]

I’ve used Flamingo, and it was less than satisfactory, but I loved the handle so much. What I ended up doing was buying Harry’s Razors (from what I could tell they are owned by the same company) and used those razor heads in place of the Flamingo ones. With them I’ve noticed a much better quality shave. And just to mention the Harry’s starter kit is the same price as the Flamingo one, the difference between the two: no wall holder for Harry, but it comes with a case that goes over the top of the razor for you to travel with.

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

That was so smart of you!!! I will definitely look into that moving forward!

[@angiec.1941]

So you can use Harry razors on a flamingo handle?

[@hannahtownsley4913]

@Annmarie Scotello What do you like about the Harry’s razors? Is it a lot better than the Billie razors?

[@david-eo2su]

@@angiec.1941 yes you can! i had to use it one day with harrys and it was a way better blade. so i use the flamingo handle but a harrys blade

[@cyanedavis]

Me too. I tired flamingo and it wasn't a great shave for my legs. And my sister and her husband used Harry and when I saw they were part of the same company and you can use the blades on flamingo I switched

[@Audpod1014]

I love my Dollar Shave Club. Yes, it’s targeted towards men, but the razors are amazing and give such a smooth shave! Very high quality stuff.

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Thanks for sharing!! I may have to give it a shot!

[@emilywahlgren4171]

I would love a comparison to Dollar Shave Club. Many of my friends have had great experiences with it.

[@sadaesashington7255]

Emily Wahlgren me too. I want to see that comparison video too.

I’m with ya on the Billie cartridges lasting longer than 2 weeks. I had to tell them to switch me to once every 6 months 🤣

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Right? I currently have my account on hold for the same reason! haha

[@rayveninwonderland5152]

Just ordered Billie. I love target but the flamingoooo is a NO from me. It's not as good as venus.

[@abbigailking3856]

how did you like the billie?

[@ToniToni-sk6xz]

Maggie, you are my favorite KZbinr in terms of product reviews, including those from subscription boxes. Your reviews are always so smart and thoughtful, and you're great about giving the pros and cons. Just wanted to let you know how appreciated you are and how your reviews are head and shoulders above the rest.

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Thank you so much!! This just made my day! I really appreciate it and love having you as part of this community!

[@nicholewilde4750]

I tried Flamingo and for me, it was fantastic for the first shave, but after that the blade would pop off multiple times per shave. Just ordered my billie and can't wait to try it.

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Hope you love it!!

[@sophiahelfer8885]

THANK you soooo much for making this video. I have been wondering about this product for a long time and couldn't find a review that answers all of my questions. Love you energy!!!

I'm so glad it was helpful!

Going to try the Billie! Just in time for summer

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

YAY! Hope you love it!

[@aleiratei]

How has it been?

[@JordanStar7]

Alexandra Animations I still prefer men’s 5 blade razors! Gillette

[@aleiratei]

@@JordanStar7 awesome! Thanks so much!

[@Dinoblue88]

Flamingo razor would always give me razor burn and bumps and and over 10 nicks per leg and that’s with a fresh blade. Billie on the other hand I always have a smooth shave and no nicks or bumps or burn it’s wonderful

[@Hannah-ks2on]

I signed up for Billie about a year ago after watching your video review on it. Since then, I will never go back. I have super sensitive skin and the lotion/aloe completely surrounding the blade makes all the difference. I LOVE my Billie. It's so affordable. I also think the replacement packs come with 4. I'm not sure if that's a setting that I chose or not. Either way, I will never use another razor. I forgot my Billie at home when I went back to school after Christmas, so I tried using one of the razors that I would have used regularly a year ago, and it was very uncomfortable. There was an obvious difference, so I ordered another billie razor handle. It was so affordable and was shipped quickly. Totally worth it. Thank you so much for posting these reviews!!

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

You’re quite welcome!! I’m so glad to hear you had such a great experience, too!

[@8djingles329]

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Hope you like it!

[@melissagragg3084]

Love my Billie razor and the convenience of the delivery service. I never worry about having a new razor head to put on!

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

I totally agree!!

[@DeafGirl93]

I recently switched to Billie. My mom told me about the brand Billie. Before Billie I was using Shick Intuition razor but I never got around to buying the replacement razors heads for it. So I then switched to the Shick Hydro Silk Trim Style Razor. But I mostly just used the electric shaver part for my bikini area. Then I started using again the cheap $1 pink razors from Walmart or the cheap $1 white razors from Target cause that’s what my mom always had us girls using when we were growing up. But for some reason they wouldn’t shave even if they were new once they got wet it’s like they immediately went bad. So when my mom told me about how she switched to using Billie. So I started looking into the brand. I had my fiancé go to Walmart while I was working and pick one up for me. He got me the Billie razor in the Primary color set. The handle of the razor is green, blue and yellow. He said he almost got me the glow in the dark glitter one but wanted to get me the green one instead. I have not used it yet. But I am planning to soon.

[@jillnoland1493]

TY for this review. I just ordered myself and my daughter a Billie starter kit.

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Yay! I hope you love it!

[@goldie3720]

Great review! And can we talk about your perfectly curated outfit/nails matching the razors??? Love it! xx

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Hahaha! I didn’t even realize it! Thanks so much.!!

[@claireisacamel]

By the way - the Billie shave cream is really nice. I use like a pea sized amount for each leg because it’s so slippy, but I feel like it moisturizes my legs (which is nice because I don’t always feel like lotioning and waiting for it to sink in after every shower haha). I think the bottle is gonna last me all year 😆

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Good to know!

[@sarahlyman109]

Thank you for that tip. I just placed my 1st order and got the shaving cream. You may have saved my clumsy self from busting my butt in the shower,lol.

[@claireisacamel]

@@sarahlyman109 LOL! So glad to be of service!! I shave sitting down in the shower for that very reason - I am WAYYY too clumsy to be trusted in flamingo stance!

[@marthamatuszak5065]

I bought a Billie razor and all it did was give me ingrown hairs in my armpits and bikini area. This was NEVER a problem with my Venus blades. I've never had ingrown until Billie

[@stephanied6711]

Ingrown hairs are the worst

[@dess234]

that’s funny because I use Venus and get in grown hairs a lot

[@annasmith9570]

I had to buy new heads for my flamingo razor and that was after 6 months

you are such a good youtuber! i love the way you speak, got started right away, did adequate research, and gave an honest opinion. subscribed!❤️

[@madin6923]

I noticed my flamingo razors kept rusting faster!! It was SUCH a bummer as someone who invested in it for quite a few months. I am just starting my Billie journey and I can’t wait to start!

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Hopefully you have better luck!! Mine is still going strong after years!

[@02Michellemabelle]

I couldn't decide between Flamingo and Billie, so I chose Flamingo and I was extremely disappointed. I had received a 1/4 full (not even) can of shaving cream in my set. The razors don't even last after about 2 shaves, they become dull. Personally I'd rather use a venus disposable razor than this one. The ONLY good thing about Flamingo is their lotion: smells amazing and keeps you feeling hydrated.

[@jangucreates]

my dad and i bought the harry's razors and those were a no as well. they were not a smooth shave and pulled and irritated both of our skin. Really disappointed because i really wanted to love it. so thank for making this video, its so helpful!

[@jackiechan27]

Ty for this ..I saw other comments of people saying they had good experiences

[@ShotofTea]

I'm debating on switching my razors. I've been shaving with Billie for over a year and found their razors weren't as sharp as they were compared to when I first subscribed. Just an observation.

[@bibifonseca371]

Love Billie! I’ve always had issues with suction cup holders so the magnetic holder sold me on Billie. Key is to have it further into your shower and away from where you normally enter. However… never have been a fan of the Billie handle since it doesn’t feel “grip-y” like a Venus handle or flamingo. Would love for billie to eventually look like the flamingo handle one day.

[@jackiechan27]

Same!!

[@rayveninwonderland5152]

I want to see if I can use Billie razor with the handle of flamingo

[@MP-dj5xg]

Our minds think alike. You answered all my questions. Thanks! Checking out the natural deodorant video next!

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

You are so welcome! I'm happy to hear it :)

[@oliviap6163]

me and my sister got the flamingo razors and only used them for about a month, both of our little wall mounts broke , and i feel like the top part of the razor past the blades was way too big and didn't allow me to get the closest shave.

[@Xellayna]

I'm not sure where you live; maybe this varies by state or something but at my local Target you get a Flamingo handle, 2 cartridges & the shower hook for $9. You get a box of 4 razor blades for $8.99 so prices are comparable. I'm on their website now and getting the same info. Personally I'm starting to think that light-weight handled razors can't be compared to heavy-weight handled razors. I know too many people used to one who can't get a good shave with the other. I tried Billie for the first time a few days ago and it was just awful unfortunately. I never get razor burn but I have it now and didn't get a smooth shave despite that. For the areas that did stay smooth over night I had to do multiple passes. I also counted five nicks which rarely happens to me with other razors. Once my legs have healed up and are no longer burning I plan to give it another go with a different shaving cream but so far it's been disappointing. That said I think, again, that the weight makes a difference for some people as well as both skin and hair type. This may just not be the right one for me! Mostly I wanted to point out that either the Flamingo prices vary by location or they've dropped them lately so people know. :)

[@kyleasmith5983]

The Billie razor is so weird imo, the moisturizer comes out of the back and that doesn’t help at all.

[@makailahnikole]

does it still shave good though?

[@Liz-uv3fz]

Flamingo actually sells a pack a four razor attachments for nine dollars at my target. So it’s kind of weird that they have a pack of five for $16 online.

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

That is bizarre!

[@mandiejean1994]

Same for my local Kroger grocery store too. Refills are $9. Just bought my Flamingo for $9 as well. It came with the holder, 2 blades, and the handle. Hope it turns out well.

[@kristinawalls6024]

I love my Billie...I used Venus before but I love the Billie and my husband uses Billie now too. I was going to try to buy the Harry's for him to see if it was better than Billie for him. Any thoughts?

[@jackiechan27]

I see some saying good and others saying it was not good

[@kmendez9474]

I absolutely HATE the flamingo razor, it cut me sooo badly and I tried everything, shave cream, gel, and just normal body wash with it 😭 just went back to my shock hydro rasrz

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Yike!! Sorry that happened! I promise Billie is way better!

[@MeganAshleySmith]

I use schick hydro 5 blade. Wonder how it compares to that? The schick blades have been dull lately :-/

[@leahwilliams7375]

Megan Smith girl no comparison

[@TKthings]

@@leahwilliams7375 as in billie is better or schick hydro

[@kmbaker492]

Yes! The super flexible head of the Flamingo razor seriously turned me off. Mine actually broke within my first two shaves so shaving with it was almost impossible. Not to mention, my razor head popped off so many times. I absolutely loved the “fancy” handle of the Flamingo razor but man that razor head was bad in my opinion. I’ve been thinking about Billie but I’m a die hard for Venus razors. 😂

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Doooo iiitttt! I promise Billie will give the Venus razors a run for their money!

[@artemis6474]

Yeah, I don’t care about how the vanity of the item…does it work well? Does it leave razor bumps, or does it glide smoothly over the skin and for how long can you keep the blades before it becomes unusable.

[@jackiechan27]

So if she said she can make one razor last about a month or so but only shaves one or times a month…is she saying that the blade only lasts to use 2 times?? Lol

[@emmaledet9014]

When it comes to razors it’s not much of how the razor looks.... but more of how the razors makes your skin feel and gets all the hair

[@MaggiesTwoCents]

Yep! I agree, which is why I did the review! Hopefully it helped!

[@meganfeathers3089]

I love my flamingo razor! I have been using it for over a year. I found hanging it on my shower, I just put my blade facing out so I don’t ruin the aloe outside. But after this video, I may have to try the Billie razor now.
