Flamingo earns mixed reviews: its lotions and shaving cream consistently impress for silky, fast-absorbing hydration and refined, subtle scent, while the razors and wax strips deliver uneven results. Reviews praise close, non‑irritating shaves for many and sleek, weighted handles with easy cartridge swaps, but cite frequent dulling, rusting, flimsy heads/attachments, awkward head size for ankles, poor holder suction, and wax strips that leave residue or miss hair.

I recently picked up the sensitive body wash & shave cream from Target. I liked that it has hyaluronic acid and almond oil as my legs can have a tendancy to get dry after shaving. I do enjoy this product though i feel like a tube or some other form of packaging would make it easier to use.

Still dealing with alot of health issues. All I know is my skin has been suffering horribly. From hormonal acne breakouts to face peeling, constant itching and rashes on my facial skin has well as my entire pelvis area and stomach. This new slow cooling lotion I’ve tried in the last 24 hours has helped my itching tremendously. Also has such a beautiful light scent to it as well. Overall extremely happy with this product.

This is what's been missing in my shaving routine! The exfoliation is gentle but effective. I notice a difference when I use this before shaving vs when I skip it. I love that it is made with crushed coconut shells!

I love the branding but the razor itself was not good. Didn't do the job. I will say this was a year ago so it could be better!
I love Flamingo shaving products. I find they are gentle enough to use on sensitive areas yet strong enough to last a long time and give a smooth shave, which leaves my skin feeling great. The exfoliating shave gel and post-shave serum are both unique items that help add to the great shaving experience with Flamingo.

It foams up nicely and feels super cushiony on the skin. I get a close shave every time, and it smells really fresh. I don't experience any irritation either. The packaging also looks cute in the shower, which is a bonus.

I love flamingo. I’ve tried their wax strips, razors, and each of their body lotion products. Their lotion especially the spray version is extremely underrated. My only con is they have raised the prices recently.

I bought this after experiencing some painful ingrown hairs, and it's been helpful. It's not irritating at all. My only gripe is that water gets into the lid from just sitting in the shower, which seems like something they should have tried to avoid when designing the packaging.

I really liked the Flamingo Razor. The sleek, minimalist design feels modern and comfortable to use. It’s made me curious about their other body care formulas that could enhance the shaving experience. I’d love to see some limited edition designs or fun collaborations in the future. Overall, it’s a great razor with style and quality that stands out and adds a fun little pop of design to my shower.

My favorite razor brand! I've tried the drugstore staples, then Billie, then Harry's, and even the overly fancy throw-back single razor blade brand Henson. First, what I love about Flamingo is that it's become easily accessible being available at retail stores like Target and CVS, as well as Amazon. Next, the pricing is reasonable for the items—I paid $15 for 4 blades, 1 handle, and 1 hook on Amazon. And even had the choice to pick from various modern colorways vs. the typical pink and purple most women's razor blade handles are. The blades themselves are quite large and have 5 rows with top and bottom "comfort system" which I believe is loaded with aloe and shea butter. They do allow for a close, safe shave with any amount of pressure. I used to nick my ankles and knees a lot with other brands, but haven't had that issue with Flamingo. I recently tried their shaving cream, which was $17 for three 6.7-ounce bot,tles and was surprised at the high quality of the product. It mentions that the shaving cream is thick, but you only need to use a little bit and it expands and gets super rich to spread across areas and lather up. The first time I used it I definitely used way too much, but I'm glad I can stretch the bottles to last knowing now that a little bit goes a long way. My husband also uses the shaving cream for his head. Overall, I'll keep buying and supporting this brand because it's made my life easier when I need refills, travel versions, etc.

I've seen the product at Target but I finally decided to try it out once I saw the package at Costco - $30 for one reusable razor, 13 (!!!) cartridges and a shower holder. I really love the purple color and I think the product results in a really close shave. It's a great deal! Also - no plastic packaging!

I wish the handle itself had more grip - I have to be cautious when using it and unlike other brands there's no texture or grip.

The lotions from Flamingo are a solid option. They are nourishing, have a light pleasant scent, and absorbed nicely! My only wish was that the packaging was better so that I didn't have to cut into the product.

The packaging makes it so that you have to squeeze the bottle to get product out especially if the bottle is half empty. I usually have to cut it in half to get the bottom of half of the product out.

I truly truly love Flamingo and it's going to take a lot for me to go for another shaving product brand. I have tried the razor, the shaving cream, and the face wax kit. the scent of the shaving cream and its consistency/creaminess for shaving makes the experience so luxurious. The brand packaging is very pretty too.

I found this product originally at my local Kroger, and I am a person who hates shaving because most razor the hair will get stuck in. I also have useing shaving cream because i feel its just more chemicals i dont need on my body. I have found with this razor, personally, the top has a slick thingy that makes shaving so much easier and less painful afterwards, I also noticed hair doesn't get stuck in the razor like other brands, and the handle has a nice weight to it so it's not like holding air.

I like that the brand offers head refills, I have had the same handle for over a year now and the heads last me all month.

I originally picked up the razor because of the packaging in 2022 and still find myself using it over other brands! I find the replaceable razor heads are relatively long lasting and don't have the excessive soapy bars on the razor head that don't always allow for a close shave.

First off, the lotion smells AMAZING!! It leaves my skin feeling so smooth. I have the daily lotion and the light hydrating spray. I find the lotion is thicker and a littler more hydrating, but the spray is great for hot summer days when you want just a light layer without the sweat.

BUYER BEWARE!!!! I have been using dermaplane razors for over 10 years without incident. View Your Deal was advertising Flamingo’s version and I purchased them. A picture is worth a 1000 words ~ see photos of what Flamingos product did to my face upon first use before buying ANYTHING from Flamingo!!

Bought this razor, paid more than I usually would for a razor as I thought it would give a better shave and last longer, used it for the first time that evening and it bent backwards and broke after shaving only half of my leg. The piece that broke was now bent backwards and I couldn’t use that blade anymore as it scratched me if I’d even try. I’ve never had a razor break before, let alone this quickly. I reached out to their company for a refund or replacement and they asked repetitive questions (shows they didn’t actually read my initial complaint message), and did nothing to help. Stated they cannot refund or exchange items outside of the USA. It was a waste of time, they should not offer a satisfaction guarantee on their website if they can’t do the bare minimum.
