Flamingo earns mixed reviews: its razors look sleek and often deliver a smooth, nick-free shave with an ergonomic, weighted handle and foamy, protective shaving cream, but many reviewers report dull or awkwardly sized heads, quick rusting, poor glide, and increased ingrowns. Reviews also praise Flamingo’s Daily Moisturizing Lotion and light hydrating spray for subtle scent and lasting hydration, while waxing strips split opinion—effective on finer facial hair yet messy, weakly adhesive, and residue‑prone on bikini or thicker hair.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Effective, both in terms of product and cost. I very much appreciate there is no mark up for the women’s version of the shaving cream (same company as Harry’s).
Flamingo hair removal products have truly impressed me! The shaving products are not only effective but also designed with a great focus on comfort. The razor glides smoothly over the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth without any irritation. I especially love the built-in moisturizing strip which enhances the shaving experience. It's easy to hold and maneuver, making it ideal for use in the shower.
Flamingo's Daily Moisturizing Lotion is top-tier. The scent is perfect; very luxurious but subtle. I frequently wash my hands at work and this helps tremendously with the inevitable dry skin. The texture is thick but doesn't leave any residue or weird feeling after.
I have been using flamingo razors for years and I really love them. I also like that the razor heads can be swapped with their sister brand (Harry's).
I used to use Flamingo’s razor and had a subscription. I found it okay, but not an amazing razor unfortunately.
Does the Job.
I've had 2 flamingo razors for the last few years and have been very happy with them! They are simple and straightforward and reasonably priced for replacement cartridges. I love that you can get them at Target, too. My more recent razor, which I just got and seems to be a slightly newer design, did get the razor head stuck in its position briefly but I was able to get it rotating again and hope that it was a one-off. I haven't re-purchased the body lotion because I prefer other brands but having used the one I received with my initial purchase, it was nice enough, too.

I swapped brands to Flamingo because I loved the look of their razors. I did not enjoy them. They didn't glide smoothly and really irritated my skin. I tried them for several months (new blades, etc.) but switched back to my previous razors.
I’ve purchased flamingo razors for about 3 years now. I like the smooth grip of the handle and how clean the product looks.

hate hate hate. Always cut my leg when shaving with these razors--like a big slice not just little nix. This doesn't happen to me with literally any other razor brand than this. I even bought different shaving creams/oils/etc to get this razor to work and it was literally the worst. Also I found that I needed to replace the razor heads a lot.
I love my Flamingo razor and when I run out of razor blades/heads I just run to Target and get more. The design is sleek and I love the different colors. I’ve never had an issue when shaving and their shaving cream and lotions smell amazing.

My razor holder always seems to end up on the floor. Maybe a better suction would help.

The razor was well made, sturdy and provided a very smooth shave. Also, they come in cute colors. And mine came with suction cup that allows you to store it in the shower.
My favorite razors! Good value for money
I would be the first to admit that the razors aren't the best out there. The handles lack much grip and the blades and build quality could simply be better. They DO work quite well on days I'm having bad flares though, since it's a bit less close of a shave than some - I have disabilities and eczema, and was incredibly happy to have discovered this option. They are also PERFECT for the underarms, which none of the other subscription companies that work for my legs are able to work for in the least - my skin would always get SO irritated shaving there, or have giant missed areas, and this razor has been a true blessing on that front. An affordable one too. The heads are also super easy to remove/replace, even when one has fine motor control and vision issues, and that is really important for me. The shaving cream that defaults to being included in the subscription is also quite decent. I always use it when using the razor, and it makes a tangible difference in how my skin reacts. The AMAZING part of this company is the Daily Moisturizing Lotion though. It's perfect. My skin loves it, and so I love it. It's a fair bit heavier and thicker than one usually sees from these companies, with good moisturizing power, a pleasant scent, a very nice and smooth texture, and a really nice absorbency into the skin. And, NO reaction whatsoever. I never thought I'd see the day. Here I went through life gauging lotions as acceptable and even decent if they caused only minor itching or irritation, and here one comes along that I can use like literally everyone else without it being a special sensitive skin/eczema fragrance-free boring formulation - incredible! I would order far more of it far more often, except budget is kind of an issue.

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.
Ok razor.Do not like the grip.
Nice razor but I didn’t find it any easier to use or have a better experience than I do with other major razor brands

I've been using my Flamingo razor for a couple months and have no complaints. Comfortable grip, close shave, pretty colors, affordable. The blades remain sharp for a long time too.
I have been using Flamingo razors about about three years. While the razors themselves are nice, they are not worth the cost. There are cheaper products that could provide you with the same results. The blade replacements dont always last long and the razor holder provided doesnt stay on as good.
Does what you expect a razor to do. This is just the women's version of Harry's, since it's the same company.
