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.

  • 100% recommend. Bought because of the beautiful packaging and, because I needed a razor which had a good grip and cushioning because I'm very clumsy and prone to cuts in the shower. Love the easy to change blades, will continue to use them.

  • Very cute branding & easily managed subscription service. Billie has become my go-to for razors and shaving products but nothing revolutionary in the product space :)

  • Fun, great quality, and appealing! I’m a sucker for anything innovative that makes a boring product fun, because why not?! I’ve used razors from legacy brands for years just because they were all that was available so when Billie came onto the market years ago, I fell in love instantly with their marketing (showing real armpit and leg hair makes so much sense?!), their product, and their quality. I enjoy looking at my razor in the shower and how it becomes almost like a piece of decor/fits into an aesthetic that I like. It makes me happy AND they stay sharp forever. I’ve also seen them stocked in Target recently with new products like their shaving cream which is designed so cute!!! (Glittery flower shaped cap) that I can’t wait to buy once my old one runs out. Just a great product that keeps getting better. Yay!

  • Another product that I have been using since they launched. Billie was one of those first business to consumer brands - and they also were fighting against the pink tax which I fully support. Their razor works extremely well - and i love the color options they have now! I am very keen to try more of their products.

  • Billie make shaving fun with cute designs and quality razors. I would definitely recommend this.

  • I love that this brand is more accessible now and can be found at large retailers. I have been using Billie’s razors for years and have loved them as well as their shaving cream.

  • the razors are okay, just your standard drugstore razor pretty much. the heads are plastic and can’t be recycled. also, their shave cream has an awful artificial tangerine scent mixed with melting plastic.

  • I tried their monthly subscription years ago. The shaving cream was nothing special and the razor knicked my skin. Was really disappointed by the quality. The packaging and branding is lovely, but the product just didn't cut it (pun intended).

  • I like the razor with monthly subscription. I really like the shower wall setup for the razor so that it’s easily accessible and doesn’t sit in standing water. I haven’t tried any other products but like how reasonably priced and good quality the blades are.

    The only thing I didn’t like was that there are no reminder emails that go out for the monthly razor subscription reminding you it will be shipped or giving you the ability to change the date.

  • The packaging and subscription service is definitely worth the hype! The razors are super cute, and I love the magnetic holder that can be put on the wall. The razors do their job, and last pretty long. The shaving cream isn't really a cream and has a lotion texture, but it works well and leaves my legs soft.

    The razors have this strip that after it gets wet can get really gunky and weird. Definitely need to have the holder, because the times I've left the razor on a surface, the strip on the razor has gotten stuck, and I have to try to pry it up without touching the razor blades. The shaving cream is okay, but I won't be purchasing again as I prefer a more traditional shaving cream texture, and it doesn't really change color so it can be difficult to see where I've already shaved.

  • I wish this product worked for me! I love love love the brand and what they stand for but my body did not like the razor. My skin is sensitive so it caused a rash/irritation under my armpits. Also, the holder did not stick to my shower.

    Feedback

    I wish they had a version for sensitive skin.

  • Loved the idea and the branding. The razors just don't cut it. The razors aggravated my skin and the razor itself kept sticking to other things in my dop kit.

    bettter razor quality

  • Great razors that don't irritate my skin. The branding is fun, although a little young for me now.

  • Have subscribed for a few years now, pretty colors, comes with a very convenient travel case, I like getting subscription refills otherwise I would never remember to buy razors. I paused on shaving during the pandemic as an experiment and it turns out I might not actually need to shave at all but I guess I will one day again and I haven't unpaused my subscription so..

  • I'm not wowed by Billie, but I don't have any complaints, either. I've had their razor for two years now, and get refill blades a few times a year. As someone who doesn't have particularly coarse hair, their razors have been plenty sharp for me. I also love the shower magnet, which keeps it easily in my shower.

    The UX of their site could use some work. I had to request to get reminders that my shipment was about to renew, but before that, they would just charge my card and ship without warning. That said, when I did have issues, their CX team was very friendly and helpful.
