Does anyone use Billie razors?

[idoinjuly]

Their ad popped up on my FB feed and I am seriously considering trying.

[circa1978]

I've tried them and didn't love it. The razor head pops off too easily, IMO.

[turnipthebeet]

Yes! My BFF bought one and loved it so much she sent me one. I've had it since Feb and am on my 2nd cartridge, and it's still super sharp. The thing that hangs in your shower that holds it is great too. Mine came with a body wash that smells awesome.

10/10 would recommend. I haven't had to buy cartridges yet, but I think they're reasonably priced?

[Leeham Rimes]

I hated them. I gave mine away. It left a film on my skin and the aloe felt like straight up slime. I think it’s bc Florida has hard water bc lots of people love it. It didn’t work for me at all.

[Leeham Rimes]

Yes the razor head isn’t secure like my dollar shave club ones.

[tripleshot]

I use them and really like them! I think they do a closer shave than other razors and the handle is easy to hold. I do use a small amount of shaving cream. I haven’t had any issues with the razor head coming off.

[picksthemusic]

I use them! I haven't had any head/handle issues like others have noted, but it's not super sturdy feeling, either. If you like the heavy, metal-feeling razors, this is not that. It's more like a Venus in shape and feel. But the blades are great, and I get a really nice shave from them. I also got their lotion and shave balm, both of which are great IMO.

I have been using it since last fall and really like it.

If you decide to do auto-ship of replacement blades, don't go with their recommended frequency - their blades last a lot longer than they estimate. I took their suggested shipment frequency and cut it in half and I still have too many blades.

I've been using them for a while and I really like them. I haven't had the same issue with the head falling off. I still need to use shaving gel on my legs, but not my underarms.

Ditto this, I like the razor a lot, and I've got quite a hoard of blades at this point. Need to change my refill frequency.

[prettypitties]

I've been using them for about 3 months and I love them. The blades stay sharp for a long time. I haven't had any issue with the head popping off.

Ditto exactly.

Thank you ladies! Have you used them on your bikini area? I get really bad razor burn and I'm hoping these will help.

[steph96]

I’ve been using them for years. I’ve never struggled with razor burn so I can’t really answer your question. I think you should just go for it! Worst case, you’re out $7.

[brooke77]

I like them. The top pops off so I just keep the cap off. I use it for bikini area - zero razor burn. I will keep them for the convenience factor.

[jlt19]

I may need to try this. I used to use Dorco and now they're only sold on Amazon and cost way more than they did. I'm about out of refills for that (I'd stock up for a year+ at a time). Super bummed about that.

[huskymom]

I really like them! No issue with the head popping off, though it will stick to your shower shelf if you put it facedown - so def use the hanger. I want to get a second handle so I have 2.

[VillainV]

I’ve been using them for about six months. They’re fine. I like the magnetic holder-thingy that sticks to the wall of my shower. I use shaving cream, so haven’t had any issues with weird film or anything. Never had the head pop off unless I dropped it.

[NewGirlNic]

Yes, and I like them... but no more than a Venus or even the Target brand refill razors. I use them more for the convenience and the price is great. I do like the little shower magnet. I haven't had any issues with the razor head falling off.

[picaflora]

I got it in my stocking for Christmas, and so far have been a fan. For me, the blades last longer and I get a closer shave than I was with the executive Dollar Shave Club blades. No issues with the head popping off, and I didn't have any issues going from the metal DSC handles to the plastic ones.

[preppy]

I liked the actual blades and the shave but there was some ingredient in their moisturizing strips that I ended up being allergic to and they gave me a horrible rash.

[TrickyBob]

I use a schick 5 blade mens razor.

What is the advantage to this razor vs mine? (I saw the ads too and thought about it but also like mine soo)

[idoinjuly]

Ok, just ordered it! I will report back on the results.

[gretchenindisguise]

I did and loved them, especially the magnetic hook for my shower, but then they started making my legs really itchy. I think I was reacting to whatever is in their gel.

[georgeglass]

I really like mine. I did leave it just face down and then the gel all globbed so I had to replace the head. Always use the shower holder thing. I haven't had a problem with the head coming off.

TrickyBob,I feel like the blades are further apart than other razors, so it gets clogged less easily.

I will always plug safety razors. They are scary AF the first couple times (I would suggest making sure it has a longer handle vs short)

They shave SO SO well.

My husband uses one for his facial hair. It intimidates me.

[ksun]

Really like them. I haven't had any issues like some have said. And also don't have to change the blade frequently at all.

[ilikedonuts]

I got razor burn in one armpit the first time I used mine. I’m not in love with it, but I don’t hate it.
