Reviews mention

  • Sophisticated, subtle fragrance profile
  • Fast-absorbing, hydrating lotions
  • Weighted, ergonomic razor handle
  • Easy cartridge replacement system
  • Quick-dulling razor blades
  • Flimsy head attachment mechanism
  • Awkwardly large razor head
  • Residue-prone waxing strips

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've used the face wax strips. It was like 30% effective meaning it only took away 30% of the hair coverage of the wax. I highly do not recommend going in with another wax strip to get the rest of the 70% because it can peel your skin off.

    Better wax to improve grabbing the hair.

  • I've only used the waxing strips, but they didn't work for me. They're a little weak, and didn't adhere well enough.

  • Love the packaging of their products but the quality is just ok. The razor becomes dull quickly and the body lotion is very hard to get out of the bottle.

  • I am reviewing the Flamingo Razor. I have not tried any of the other products. The razor works decently- I feel like any other razor. I do like that razor heads are sold in large packages.

  • Even the first time I used the razor it felt dull and like I really had to work at the shave. The aesthetic of the brand is great and i did like the shaving cream

  • I bought a flamingo razor at target on a whim because I liked the branding. The blade cut my leg instantly. I did not find the blade as good as just a traditional venus razor and have since stopped using it.

  • I love the Flamingo razors! I am impressed with how well it works! The 5 blades glide over the skin leaving them silky smooth! And normally with a new razor I always cut myself, well not with these! The aloe vera hydrates and moisturizes my skin! Great quality, reliability, and durability! Thanks for an amazing product! I recommend them to anyone wanting to get a close shave!

    Nothing needs to be improved!

  • The razors are super sleek and affordable. The disposable heads last long and don’t cut your skin. It gives a nice close shave. The body lotion smells like orange Fanta but it very moisturizing! It made my skin smooth and moisturized all day!

    The body lotion packaging needs an update. It’s very hard to squeeze the tube and after awhile it becomings dented all over.

  • 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

  • I recently purchased this brand and I’m happy with it so far. I love that it has more blades (5) than my normal razor and I feel like it’s lasted longer as well. Also, I think it was slightly cheaper for the refills which is a plus!

  • I've been using the razors for years and it's fine, it's a razor. The handle has lasted so I'm only buying replacement heads, which I can either get online or from Target, which is nice. The reason I love Flamingo is for their daily body lotion. It's the only lotion I use and for a while, it seemed like they were going to discontinue it so I would order multiple bottles at once. It leaves my skin so soft and dries super quickly. I highly recommend it, and for $7 a bottle, it's not a bad price. The 5 rating is solely because of this product. I've also tried their moisturizing spray and I do not recommend it. The spray isn't even and you still have to rub it in. Also, I feel like half of the spray ended up on my floor.

  • So awful it’s almost funny. I would easily give this company and razor a zero out of five stars, unfortunately, I have to give it a one star just to share my experience. I bought this razor set, and after a couple of uses with the first razor head, it completely broke off and the razor was extremely dull. I thought perhaps it was just a faulty head and switched over to the second replacement head that the set came with. Again after a couple of uses the razor head completely bent backwards, and the flimsy plastic snapped making it unusable. That’s two razor heads in the span of two months. I then emailed Flamingo directly to advise me on why their product kept breaking so easily and provide a solution. They said that because I live in Canada they basically cannot help me, offer me a refund or ship me a new package. Their customer service alone is awful, let alone their product. I asked them to explain why they aren’t able to do anything when they sell their product in huge corporations across Canada. I was told they just aren’t able to ship to Canada or resolve the issue because I’m Canadian. I would never buy this product again. Billie seems to be the better product in razors, shop them over Flamingo!

  • I used the razor, it’s very pretty and very sharp, leaves my legs very smooth, only thing I didn’t love 100% is that the sharpness doesn’t last long, and I know it’s disposable but other brands I’ve used are sharp for longer than this one

  • I use the body wax hit and pubic hair remover kit and once you get the hang of it it works amazing! The strip sizes are versatile to all bodies and allow you to get out all the stubborn hair. The only thing is you do have to wait until the hair is long enough but that is with all waxing products.

  • Got the starter kit to try it out finally, but get nicked a lot and the blades rust super fast. Venus was better for me. Looks pretty though...

  • I’ve been using Flamingo razors and their lotion for several years now. The price point is excellent and the lotion smells AMAZING. It’s a lovely clean, light, and fresh scent. It’s super hydrating too. I truly look forward to putting on the lotion after a shower, it feels and smells luxurious. I’ve been impressed with the razors and haven’t had any issues with nicks or cuts. I highly recommend all Flamingo products!

  • I’ve been using these razors for years!! Very reasonable in price and found at Target! Love this product!

  • Oh my goodness where do I start. I absolutely love this razor brand. The love the feel of the blade head. The way it glides over my skin with ease. It's able to get every part of my body that I'm shaving. It leaves my skin feeling silky smooth. I never getting razor burn, or ingrown hairs after using this razor. The only thing I'd really like to see from this brand is if they would/could come out with a smaller blade head that could get around more easily in my more intimate areas 😜 I can only imagine how wonderful that experience would be in "flamingo" came out with a smaller blade head just for that.
