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
The body butter is amazing. Seriously, it makes your skin so soft, well hydrated and lightly scented in a pleasant fragrance.
Best razors Iv ever used I will never use anything else ever again. And reasonably priced.
Love this razor so much
I have used the razors and wax strips. I enjoy the smaller wax strips for areas such as my upper lip and chin. The razors work well and I appreciate being able to switch out the blades.

These are great basic products. I’ve tried the serum body wash and lotion. I love the serum as it hydrated without making you feel greasy. The body wash is super gentle and a faint smell. The body lotion feels quite heavy but I have dry skin so it’s been working well on my legs after I shave. Would repurchase serum and body wash.
If you’re buying for aesthetics: this razor is great. The razor itself is not revolutionary, but I do appreciate the wall hold that helps maximize space for my partner and I’s shower products. I also really love the shaving cream, but again, not sure if I love it because it’s an amazing cream or if it’s an okay cream in a nice, shiny bottle. Regardless, I buy it. So.

I've only used the razor/blade, which I bought from target due to its affordable price and it was one of the few items not behind a locked case. While it is an attractive product, I find the blades to feel dull even when it's a new head. Additionally, the shape of the product makes it hard to work around the knee and ankle.
I've been using the Flamingo lotion for a week and I wish I had bought this earlier for myself. I was told that this paired well with Glossier's You perfume and it smells so good together. It has a kind of summery smell that's a bit beachy but also mature. Most of all, it's actually moisturizing!!

I do wish that there was a smaller version available! I would love to take this with me on the go daily and on trips, but I'll find a way.
Love this brand and these shavers. So much that I immediately bought a replacement when I lost mine between traveling. There are a few things I love about these shavers - First, they work super well. I've never had an issue with the shaver irritating my skin when I shave right and I usually get it all in one go. Second, it makes traveling easy. If I know I'm headed somewhere, all I have to do is grab a single head or a whole pack, throw it in my bad, and bring the handle with me. So much safer than having to bring an entire shaver with me and I don't have to gamble with buying a disposable one and hoping it works as well as my Flamingo one. Third, the grip on these things is great. Most shavers are completely plastic or only have a little bit of material so it won't slip. The whole handle here is a silicone-like grip making it easy to keep control. Lastly, the designs are cute! I originally had the purple one and loved it, but, after losing it, I bought the limited edition orange one and somehow love it even more! Not to mention it came with an exfoliation rag which I really love and use almost daily. Highly recommend this brand for a good shaving experience and saving money in the long-run.
Love that the razor comes with a suction cup, love the packaging even more. Also surprisingly impressed with hair removal cream, and wax strips.
I use the razor and razor head refills and have for awhile! Every time I think that they aren't worth the price or as great as I think - I go back to the razors I used to use and instantly regret it. I don't think the razor heads last as long as they should, but I like these enough to not spend the money trying other similar brands.

Overall solid razors! The hot pink is a fun color and it's easy to by refills since they sell them at Target. The quality of the handle and overall razors is good, I just wish the replacements lasted a little longer. Also, the suction of the shower razor holder hasn't been great for me.
I've used the waxing strips and honestly I loved using them! I would be up to try their other products as well.
I’ve used their razor and it seems pretty standard. Nothing too special, but it is easy to swap out the heads which is nice!
The razor blade isn’t very sharp…and it also rusts really quickly. I still use the shaving cream but I wouldn’t repurchase the blades.

I've been using the razor for a couple years now and although I love the design and colors of it, I find it to be just okay. The detachable razor heads seem to come off too easily and sometimes while using the razor. It also seems easy to rust and show use for a product that's used so minimally.
Feedback
Razor heads that don't come off so easily & more durable for the price point it's at
I got the bikini waxing strips and the wax they put on the strip was so tiny. It didn’t pull any hairs out.
Feedback
Put more wax on the strip.
I tried the Flamingo Pubic Wax Kit and I have thick Italian hair (iykyk). I have sensitive skin too and the formula was non-irritating which was nice. The wax removal wipe and post-wax oil was soothing, as well. My main issue was that the wax didn't really grab onto my hair and wasn't very effective at actual hair removal. It did remove some hair, but I think due to the fact that it was a non-heat wax, I was forced to go over the same spot multiple times for marginal results.
Feedback
The wax formula should be worked for a heat-friendly option. If they're going to remain non-heat activated I would suggest making the formula stronger.
I tried A Flamingo razor for a few months and was not a fan. Ergonomically it was great but it left me with terrible razor burn and I felt that I didn’t get a close shave.
Feedback
Razor heads
I do like the razor, it is pricey and I feel like i'm paying for branding. But that said the grip and the little holder feel chic and ergonomic.

I've been using flamingo for years. The shaving cream is amazing, and the original body lotion smells so good. Haven't purchased another brand of shaving supplies since. I've tried the waxing strips and didn't like them, but I have tried other brands and had the same experience.
Feedback
The razor head falls off too often! Also would love to have the spray body lotion in the original scent, I'm not a fan of the new scent.
