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.

  • Stylish products, semi-close shave

    Feedback

    Less plastic used near blades for closer shave.

  • Great! These are tastefully designed and easy to use razors, it's nice to have something light and easy to use that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, I would recommend these to anyone looking for a sleek, affordable, effortless shave!

  • I have used their razor and shaving cream. I really like the razor a lot. Eat time I use it I get a close shave and I don’t hav any nicks or cuts. I also love their color scheme as lavender is my favorite color. The price point is also great!

  • It was fine but the head of the razor is awkwardly sized and shaped - which made it difficult to use, especially in harder to reach places.

    Razor + holder feels and looks like cheap plastic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • I bought the wax strips to use on my bottom and thighs before going to the beach. I’ve been waxing at home and at the salon for years so I’m familiar with the process but I was not prepared for the outcome of these strips. The wax barely pulled out any hairs and instead left a horrible sticky, wax mess all over me. I used every single one of the little oily wipes that it came with to remove the excess wax but it just wouldn’t come off. I tried soaking and scrubbing it off in the tub but it still wouldn’t budge. I don’t want to be crude but my butt crack was actually completely sealed shut for awhile. One bath and an hour of rubbing the wax with various oils and lotions later, I got all the mess off but was left with what looked like diaper rash and most of the hair that I started with.

  • I was very excited about Flamingo's branding and product, but the razor is just okay. Unlike most razor with a soap bar, Flamingo's razor doesn't glide the easiest. I could also never get the holder to stay on my wall-it broke by the second time I tried to put it up.

  • I really like their waxing strips because you dont have to rub them to heat them up and they are not overly sticky while still doing the job - like I find them way easier to handle than other brands. I have repurchased a good amount of times already.

  • I really wanted to love this brand because it looks really cool. Unfortunately, the positives end with the packaging. Prior to getting laser hair removal, I tried their hair removal, and it just didn't hit. Also, the razors, while fun visually are no better than a disposable razor. Aka, buy Venus and get on with it.

  • 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.

  • I recently purchased the Flamingo pink razor at CVS, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The razor itself is not only stylish in pink but also provides a smooth and comfortable shave. Plus, the wall holder is a great addition, keeping my razor handy and organized. Overall, a fantastic purchase!

  • Razor is ok. “Holder” is awful. Barely stays on the wall & barely holds the razor. Both the razor & holder from Billie are much better.

  • Recently started using a Flamingo razor -- no complaints so far! Love that it comes with the suction cup that acts as a razor holder. I don't have a subscription but would consider getting one.

  • I’ve had my razor for a while now but it didn’t take long for the blades to start falling off. I like that it has some weight to it and that they are semi affordable.

    Having the blades stay on.

  • I bought the pink Flamingo razor w/ wall holder and the shaving gel. I was pleased that it came with an extra replacement blade!

  • I use an old-school safety razor at home (so much more economical and sustainable!) but Flamingo disposable razors are my go-to option for travel. Special shout out to their Daily Moisturizing Lotion which outperforms any luxury options from any other brand.
