Reviews mention

  • Sharp five-blade cartridges
  • Ergonomic non-slip handle
  • Convenient magnetic holder
  • Smooth, irritation-free shave
  • Goopy lubricant strip residue
  • Occasionally dulling razor blades
  • Bulky razor head maneuverability
  • Loose mount or blade latch

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 have VERY course hair, and it goes back within two days. For me, this just didn’t work.

  • I have only used their shaving cream, and it really just allows the razor to glide over skin! I really love it and will continue to purchase. I’d love to try their shimmery razors!

  • I disliked this brand very much. Every time I used the razor, I would knock or cut myself. Also it would give me bad razor burn.

  • Really like Billie Razors. They have great customer service and a great quality product. Solid razor, although I prefer a more sustainable option like the old school razors where you just replace the blade and there is no plastic.

  • This has been my favorite razor for years now. So affordable, cute, works great, and cartridges last longer than most! The subscription service is also super convenient

  • I hate buying razors, so when I found this and it was a subscription I was excited at how easy it was. Love the colors! How easy it is to hang my razor up with a small magnet...wow. I even bought the travel case and it's so easy to take this on trips with me. Love the zodiac shaving cream as well...Virgo all the way! Smells great and makes my legs so soft

    This is amazing and so easy! I really like not having to worry about going to the store and forgetting to buy razors. Bam...they just show up!

  • i haven’t tried anything aside from the razors and the shaving cream but i love both sm. the razors are pretty colors and come with a holder for the shower. i’m signed up to receive the razor heads every couple of months which is nice bc it’s one less thing i have to remember to buy at the store

  • I love my Billie razor so much! It works so well and is the first razor I've used that doesn't give me razor burn anywhere. The subscription works so well, I never run out of razor heads and the razor handle is very high quality. I love the add-ons as well, like the razor travel case and the magnetic shower holder.

  • I was excited about the idea of this as I found the branding appealing but it's no different than any other cartridge razor. Yes, it's cheap, but it feels cheap and shaves cheaply. This razor did not make my skin happy and the shave cream was goopy and not protective or comfortable. Nothing about this experience felt luxurious or relaxing.

    Feedback

    Perhaps if Billie offered a double edge safety razor I'd be in but this was just a cheaper version of cartridge razors offered from big brands with plastic waste and goopy shaving goo.

  • I have two razors - one for home and another for travel. When I ordered the wrong one, their customer service was very accommodating to send me a replacement right away. Their blades work well and I don't get as many nicks as other more mainstream brands.

    More options for subscriptions.

  • Have used their razors for years, and they work great. Love the subscription service, so easy and cost-effective!

  • Razors and lotion are good quality, cute products. And the subscription is convenient!

  • Razors are solid, inexpensive and get the job done. Colors are fun as well. It does not seem to be a super innovative brand from a consumer prospective

  • Love everything about it. Subscription is easy to manage/ make changes to, the razor works great, and it looks great too. I also really love the little magnetic triangle wall mount. I had no faith in that staying up but mines been up for months in my frequently used shower and has stayed in place. Billie is also priced well for the quality of the product. As long as Billie is around, I’ll be a customer.

    Shipping is slow

  • My partner and I have used Billie's razor subscription for a little over a year now and have found it to be very convenient. Goodbye are the days of buying crappy cheap razors or overly priced 4pks.

    Feedback

    The razors take quite some time to arrive once shipped. I would just make sure others account for this when setting up the frequency of their subscription.

  • I cannot stop raving about Billie's razor. I bought my first one a few years ago and never looked back. I have to shave almost every day (god bless my indian genetics), and I never experienced razor burn or ingrowns after switching to Billie. I love the ease of the subscription replacement, the cute branding, and the overall mission. I think the brand has really changed the women's razor game.

    Feedback

    I don't love the shaving cream - I wish it was more soothing/lathering to feel more protective.

  • I've been a Billie subscriber for almost 3 years - I really like the entire user experience; the ordering process and actual shaving process are very smooth (!). The website is easy to use and there are not too many products. You can pause your subscription when needed (I've done this a few times when I find myself not shaving quite as much). The razor is pretty good as well, recommend to always have it magneted to the shower wall - I've had some weird melting experiences with my razor.

    Feedback

    My only piece of feedback is around the razor heads - a few times I haven't attached my razor to the magnet and basically the razor head just started melting. A little weird! I'm sure that is what it is recommended to always attach to the magnet, but still a little disappointing for me.

  • I do like the style of the razors and accessories. The handle is easy to hold and use. The travel case is great. I do find that I have to make sure the razor is hung up right after the shower or else the shave soap around the razor kind of melts(?) off. I do have issues with the blade getting hairs on certain areas, like right along my tibia. I usually have to go along that area with a different razor. Overall, I like Billie, love its women-led mission. But, it's not quite perfect for me.

    Feedback

    The shave soap around the blade is nice, but it does seem to melt off for me.

  • I've use the Razor Starter Kit, Razor Travel Case, and Wonder Wipes (makeup wipes). I don't think the razor is anything special but it's nice to have replacement razor heads on hand (versus always forgetting to buy them when you're at the store). I like that I can travel with it pretty easily using the case (I can't tell you the number of times I've nicked my nail from my razor without a case on it!). The real winner here is the Wonder Wipes. Other makeup wipes make me break out but I hardcore love these Billie wipes. They're the only ones I've used for the past two years. They smell so good - try them out!

    Feedback

    Agreeing with some others, the brand is a bit hyped up. You see it all over social media / influencers promoting the heck out of it.
