  • 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!!

  • I'd tried the razors a few times but found they didn't work like I was expecting them to. For the price, it was a little disappointing.

  • The hair removal cream from Flamingo is lovely, but I've found the razors are not as flexible as I'd prefer them to be.

  • My shaving brand for life. Packaging changes quite frequently, which can be frustrating, but I really like the products. Shaving cream smells AMAZING!

  • I love the products, but I feel the razor itself is lacking. I always have stubble and feel like I need to shave again, immediately after shaving my legs. I will say it’s wonderful for my underarm area which usually irritates very easily with shaving. I have no issues with this razor in that area. There is zero irritation, but it does not give a close shave at all for me.

  • I ordered from this company and had to return a couple items and had to do this within 7 days and I had to pay for delivery and then they only reimbursed me for one of the items and of course the cheaper one I returned a set and then a shirt and they only gave me the funds for the shirt anyways be very careful with this company

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Feedback

    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 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 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.

  • have only tried the razors so far but i loveeeee them! really high quality and great feel! love that you can just buy new heads making it more sustainable, the blades also last a long time before needing to be replaced!

    can’t think of anything!

  • 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.

  • Stylish products, semi-close shave

    Feedback

    Less plastic used near blades for closer shave.

  • Bought a flamingo razor & shaving cream set in a retail store - I think it was either Target or a Walgreens/CVS. I'm always game to try new razors just for fun. Their razor was fine. I do like that the handle has some weight to it, which makes it a bit easier to hold/less slippery when shaving my legs in the shower. Other than that, I didn't find anything particularly revolutionary about their product, but the shaving cream did smell good!
