Women’s Razors

[icedcoffee]

There are so many women’s razor subscription services. What’s the best? I’ve been using Gillette for 25 years but I feel like they’ve not been lasting super long lately.

Flamingo? Billie? Dollar shave Club? Athena Club?

[TR]

I use Billie. I like it. The magnetic shower hangy thing is handy and the travel cover (purchased separately) is great.

[shopgirl07]

I used Billie for awhile and the quality kind of went downhill IMO. I use Athena Club now and really like them. They have the same magnetic shower holder as Billie.

Yes! The Billie quality has gone downhill. A blade used to last me much longer and now I am
Having to change them more often.

I…did not know that razor subscriptions were a thing. I’ve been using Venus embrace for years and years and have always been happy with them. Each razor cartridge lasts me literally months.

I find men’s razors to be the best. Currently using Harry’s.

I use Billie and like them.

[gummy]

I like Athena. Billie irritated my skin.

I’ve been using dollar shave club for awhile. I probably only buy a pack of replacement blades once a year. I keep my pits shaved, but my legs are a different story, especially during the winter. lol Their blades last a long time, but the wear is fairly minimal on a weekly basis.

I ordered set of “Joy” razors & blades from Amazon this summer. The packaging says “Gillette” inside, so I guess they make them? They fit the bill and serve the purpose. I previously bought whatever giant pack was on sale at Costco.

I subscribed to DSC for a long time. I'm still using their product because I ended up with sooooo many razors. The handles break about once a year (the part the holds the cartridge in will snap off). I have a couple of extra handles laying around as a result. Once these break, I'll be looking elsewhere.

Do you have a referral code you can share?  Looks like you'd get $20 off your next order....

[macmars45]

Zomchi safety razor. It's environmentally friendly. No plastic.

[mokes]

I also use Billie and also feel like the quality has gone down. My DH forgot his razor once and used my brand new blade and commented how it sucked.

The thing is I have so many to use up before I can switch to anything else. Like PP said, the accessories (magnetic holder, travel case) are great, and I think I like them better than the razor itself.

I've used Venus for years. A few months ago I accidentally bought the refill cartridges for their "intimate grooming" razor, which are (annoyingly) not compatible with any of their other razors. Since I'd already opened the package, I bought the razor to fit the blades I'd bought. It's seriously the best razor ever -- I love it. (I use it everywhere -- not sure if the company wants you to use a separate one on your legs, but who wants to keep 2 razors around?)

[cereal K]

Not a subscription/club, per se, but I really like the Amazon Basics razors and blades. I have them set up on subscribe and save, so I guess it's kind of the same?

The price is good, the blades last a good amount of time, and they're very moisturizing IMO.

This is the kind I use: smile.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-5-Blade-Cartridges-Previously/dp/B07CYN88NJ/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1KKPM4JHAN45Q&keywords=amazon+basics+razors+for+women&qid=1675696900&sprefix=amazon+basics+ra%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-6

Looks like they also have a sensitive skin version.

Just throwing this out there, I bought a Braun laser device for under $300 (Silk expert Pro 5). I haven't finished my treatment yet but just 3 treatments in and I only have to shave once a month as opposed to every 2 days. It's super fast (10 min once a week) and I am impressed by the results.

Does it hurt?  Can you use it on your bikini line?

[brooke77]

I like flamingo. I used to get Billie but I feel like they dull after a couple uses.

[icedcoffee]

I did Athena. Thanks for the code gummy.  Here's my shameless referral code plug for $5 off. LOL

I also used Rakuten to get another $2.50 discount. Another shameless referral code.

It doesn't hurt at all. It feels warm. And yes, you can do in on your bikini line. I do legs, bikini and underarms in 10 min.

I like the Amazon Solimo razors, it is a men's razor and works better than any women's razor I have used in the past. Not a subscription but they sell a cartridge refill pack and it is super affordable.

For a while I was buying the Dorco brand, it is the same manufacturer used for Gillette razors.

I'm so tempted by this. I get terrible razor burn on my bikini line, no matter what I do. It would be wonderful to be done with messing with that nonsense. I was looking into getting laser hair removal at a place, but I am not comfortable with having someone all up in my shit like that.

This is what I currently use, too. Though I've been curious about the Leaf (https://leafshave.com/collections/shop-all) because I'd like something with a pivoting head. I feel like I'd get a closer shave, especially for my underarms and bikini area.
