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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
My shaving brand for life. Packaging changes quite frequently, which can be frustrating, but I really like the products. Shaving cream smells AMAZING!
It works pretty well, but is mostly just good marketing I think. I've found that the part where the head attaches is not well constructed and comes loose.
Flamingo is affordable and easily accessible at a Target or Costco, but I wouldn't say I get a particularly good or close shave. It's perfectly mid.
I use the Flamingo razors and I really like it. I don't have a subscription but I love that it can be found in places like Target -- makes it easy.

I'm guy... But hear me out.... I get facial hair under my eye and it's annoying to constantly shave. I use the way strips right under my eye and there's no hair for over a month. I never considered using it until I saw how easy it was. The wipes make it super easy for cleaning up without residue.

I actually quite liked this product! I get so sick of buying razors all the time and always feel like a have a million miss-matched razor parts in different drawers- I felt like these razors lasted a decent amount of time. I also REALLY liked the shave cream! I feel like for the price of the product- everything is pretty reasonable quality. Also tried the waxing strips and found that they worked pretty well on my upper lip and for a quick bikini line clean up IF you follow the instructions- just always need to be careful doing this and it hurts like heck... not sure I would purchase those again but glad I tried during the pandemic. They come with a cleaning solution, since you get the sticky stuff all over you, and a calming solution which also works pretty well!

I should probably say that I didn't actually follow the instructions for the little waxing strips for my upper lip which led to me pulling a piece of my skin off... Which is, in fact, worse than having a small ladies peach fuzz mustache. Just food for thought for people who hate instructions as much as me.
Not wonderful. The packaging was great, as was the concept. The razor grip is great--doesn't feel like it catches grime.

Razors went dull, and then rusted quickly.

I bought this one for my daughter & she liked it so much, we both ended up with one. They are a rad on the pricey side for one, but worth it on the other hand because they last. Sometimes when the head comes of it can be a tad difficult to put it back on for me without cutting my finger. But they work well!

I tried one of their razors a few years ago and love the quality for the price. However, as someone with relatively sensitive skin, the lack of some kind of strip of skin gel irritated me too much to continue using, even with shaving cream. Just something to be aware of but otherwise a great product at a great price point.
I use the lotion. I love how soft it makes my legs I also like that it’s non-scented.
I use Flamingo for about half my routine! I have the razor, the shaving gel and the lotion. I love all of them!! They smell amazing, are actually very hydrating and create lasting hydration too. I love having a refillable razor. It's so much easier and was less waste.
I was excited about the branding but quality and product design were below average unfortunately. I wanted to like them more.
I was gifted one of these razors in a product swag bag a few years ago. While I loved the idea of not buying disposable razors anymore, every time I dropped it, the head would come off. It just became annoying after it happened like the 3rd or 4th time and I switched to a company that I'm completely obsessed with that doesn't have that issue (Oui the People).
Somehow, the world’s most comfortable razor is still able to absolutely lacerate my skin open or maybe I’m just stupid…However their shaving cream smells AMAZING
Liked the wax strips - did not like the razors.

Razors were not high quality
I've used Flamingo's razors for a couple years now, and I've only needed to buy a new handle once (after losing it). The blades are super sharp and easy to find refills for. Everything glides smoothly for a close shave, without the aloe gunk that slides off disposable razors and makes a mess when packing in a toiletry bag. I bought it because of how pretty and high-quality it looked, but I stayed because it really does replace tens of plastic razors a year!
I tried their waxing products that I bought at Target, and I regretted it. Wax strips that don't stick well & don't do the job.

I like that these razors give a clean shave without giving me razor burns
Their razors come in such cute colors and are very sharp for getting every inch of hair off my body.
