  • Sharp five-blade cartridges

Billie draws rave reviews for delivering a consistently close, irritation‑free shave with sharp five‑blade cartridges, a comfortable grippy handle, and the clever magnetic shower holder; many long‑term users say it’s the best razor they’ve tried. Reviews also flag drawbacks: lubricant strips can get goopy or leave residue, some report blades dulling faster or quality declines over time, a few experience razor burn, and the wall mount or blade connection occasionally fails.

  • I enjoy using Billie products because of the brand's mission, quality and look and feel of the products. I have a subscription for the razor blades and shaving cream. I have one razor for home and one for travel -- they work very well and are cute.

  • I've been using Billie razors for a few years and I can't complain! I had to unsubscribe from the razor refill subscription because I was receiving them too frequently (something I've seen in other reviews) but otherwise they have worked super well for me and I don't see myself switching to anything else!

  • Love their shaving cream and the razors work great! Great pricing and I love the magnetic holder for the razor.

  • I use the razor starter kit and it works ok, I'd say it is worth the price but was not a wow for me.

  • Love my billie razor. I've been using billie razors and blades for awhile now and have no complaints. the razors are no-frills and affordable, yet super functional. I also really like the magnetic holder!

  • The exfoliating soap bar is my FAVORITE. My esthetician says my legs are always so smooth when she waxes them, with very little dead skin. The at-home waxing strips are OK for folks who prefer to DIY, and the razors are OK too.

  • I love Billie! They make shaving fun and convenient, while also being on the inexpensive side. Their subscription model is wonderful - the website is very user friendly and it’s easy to cancel or push back your subscription to ship at a later date.

  • I use the Billie Bar and the pH wash. The bar is a great exfoliant and it’s also soapy enough to remove the unwanted layers of skin the exfoliant loosens up. Clutch for summer as it greatly reduces the razor bumps when used with the pH wash.

  • I will say I LOVE the core line - that is, the razors and shave cream, although I readily admit they're not for everyone. I tried and didn't reorder any of the other extras they offer (lotion, body wash, etc.). They simply have too much easily accessible competition at the price point in those areas - they're not outright bad or anything, and they apparently HAVE rolled out new and improved versions and variations since I last tried them, but I have go-tos on that front by this point. So, I'll talk about the razors/blades and the shave cream here. So, for the razors/blades: they're nothing super fancy to look at. It's basically a colored plastic handle shaped to fit rather nicely in the hand. But, it's built reasonably well, it's easy to get the blades off and on even when visually impaired without hurting yourself, and they come with a nice magnetic hook for the wall of the shower that is AMAZING. Most importantly, the aloe/charcoal combo or whatever it is that they use on the cartridge head works really well. You have to understand, I have a health condition that causes massive skin inflammation. Even things like body buffers or slightly rough cloth often cause me severe pain and redness, especially during flares. Shaving was a nightmare for me for years, to the point I stopped bothering to try for a long time, which also wasn't ideal because then I'd have hair rubbing against my skin. These allow me a close shave that works for days, and do so without pain even during the worst of it. In my case, that alone was a great discovery. Now, granted, the texture when it gets wet IS rather slimy, and you'll want to make sure to wash it away completely, but that seems a small price to pay. The subscription is handy and easy to change/reschedule, and really quite affordable on a per refill basis - though the number of shaves you get out of each one will vary widely I suspect, based on your usage and all. The shave cream could, admittedly, use some improvement. I find it to still be a little drying or lacking hydration despite the fact it's definitely infused with at least some hydrating ingredients, which I remedy by applying a really nice-quality lotion that my skin doesn't react to immediately after drying off. But, I'd do that anyway, just to mitigate the risk of inflammation, so it's no trouble for me. The shave cream itself is nice and light, spreads nicely, has a mild pleasant scent, and provides good extra 'cushion' for the razor though - which tends to be especially important in my case. I do find myself using a fair bit of it to get a good coating to let me be able to tell where I shaved and have full protection from the blades - but, I don't think that'd be as much of an issue for the average user, and, as we all likely know, foam may give better coverage with less but would almost certainly increase the dryness issue. So, this walks a fine line decently well. And, overall, it's well worth the convenience of being able to get in a single package with my blade refills. I have needed to reach out directly to customer service in the past as well, and they've always been super fast and helpful in their responses, which only cements me more as a customer for the time being.

  • Love this brand and have been using their razor subscription for years. I haven't bought many other products from them as I was mostly just looking for an affordable razor solution, but can attest this is a solid and affordable product. Plus its cute!

  • BEST razors! I’ve never gotten a closer shave! My family has a subscription and we get the refills! Super sustainable over time and they last a good bit!

  • Billie has redefined my beauty routine with its commitment to body positivity and the use of healthy ingredients in their women's beauty products. It's more than just a brand; it's a celebration of individuality and self-love that shines through in every aspect of their offerings. What immediately drew me to Billie was their dedication to promoting body positivity. Their marketing and messaging emphasize embracing one's unique beauty, fostering a sense of confidence that goes beyond the physical. It's refreshing to see a brand actively challenging societal norms and encouraging women to feel good in their own skin. The use of healthy ingredients in Billie's products is a game-changer. Knowing that the skincare and beauty items are crafted with care and without harmful additives brings peace of mind. The transparency in sharing the ingredient list reflects Billie's commitment to empowering customers to make informed choices about what they put on their bodies. Beyond the product itself, Billie's packaging exudes a playful and inclusive vibe. The colorful and fun design adds a touch of joy to my beauty routine. It's evident that every detail has been considered, creating a holistic experience that extends beyond the bathroom counter. Billie's product range caters to diverse needs, from skincare essentials to beauty tools, all designed to enhance natural beauty. The emphasis on simplicity and effectiveness aligns perfectly with my desire for a straightforward yet impactful routine. In a beauty industry often marred by unrealistic standards, Billie stands out as a beacon of authenticity, promoting not just a skincare routine but a lifestyle of self-love and confidence. Billie has earned a permanent place in my beauty arsenal, reminding me daily that beauty is about feeling good from the inside out. Cheers to Billie for redefining beauty with a dose of positivity and healthy goodness!

  • I am a new user and have used Billie products only once, but I am already a fan! I am never going back to any other razor ever again. Super close shave and no razor burns. I also really like the idea of their magnetic holder and the razor cover. They are very simple yet well thought of designs. Also love the colors! DreamPop is so cute!

  • Been a Billie subscriber for years now. I can't live w/o their face wipes. I get them delivered monthly.

  • I've been using Billie for a few years now and it's just so great. I've had the same razor handle the entire time, and get new blades auto-shipped every few months, and come just when I need them. Affordable, and great, solid razors. Makes my life easy!

  • LOVE THESE. I hate shaving but these make it more fun. First of all, I never have to worry about running out of blades in the worst possible moment because they come automatically (yes I do understand that's how subscriptions work everwhere, but for razors, this seems ultra applicable because I kept forgetting that I'm out and would notice when I'm under the shower... :D ) Love the design, love the little magnetic holder, and love that the blades are embedded in the glidy stuff that makes them run down my body like butter. I typically don't even use shave cream BUT I have used Billie's and it makes everything even smoother. Also I love the smell - it's not overpowering girlie. Overall highly recommend these (and like them the most out of all competitors I've tested)

  • Nice product. I bought it at Target to see what all the fuss is about. Here's the skinny: It's a lady Razor in lady colors. Looks ok, but I still nick myself and they rust after a while too. Also the holder wouldn't stick which is supposed to be a nice innovation. It's a lot of packaging too, In an attempt to avoid plastic clam shells, which I appreciate, it's a lot paper. I love it because it makes me feel fancy, but don't because it's —well, a lot of paper. I'm luke-warm on this one. I do like the body positivity messaging, but at the end of the day is a lavender razor telling me to shave. It's a contradiction!

  • I LOVE my billie razors! I have been using their products since 2020, and haven't gone back to other brands. I am obsessed with their design aesthetic and I *believe* they don't charge the pink tax. This brand also supports amazing non-profits.
