Billie Razor Review
It’s summertime, it’s hot, and I’m showing more bare legs. And you know what that means. I have to shave my legs. Overall I prefer shaving my legs for hair removal over waxing. I think I like the convenience of being able to shave my legs whenever I can and can easily do it while I shower. Waxing requires a bit more effort. I have to make sure I go to a reputable salon, it costs more, and I have to dedicate time for it and make an appointment.
Billie Razor Review
If you’ve already heard of Billie, then you know a lot of influencers were sponsored by them. My post is not sponsored. I paid for it with my own money and have no obligation to share except for my own curiosity and seems like you all were curious too on Instagram!
If this is your first time hearing about Billie razor, it is a razor brand company without the pink tax. I’ll explain what pink tax is below.
More recently, they have expanded beyond razor blades, shave cream, etc. They also offer products such as body wash, dry shampoo, and other body care products.
I discovered Billie razor on social media. I would see it all over Instagram. More recently, I’ve seen a lot of Influencers talking about it and being sponsored by Billie Razor. So I became curious if it is really worth the hype. I decided to give their razor a try when my old razor was no longer usable. Especially since I did not want to go to a store to only buy a shaving razor. Ever since coronavirus, I want to make sure every trip to the store is a big trip and worth my time.
So I saw this as a perfect opportunity to try out Billie razors. It gets shipped directly to me and I was surprised by the price.
How Does the Billie Razor Subscription Work
Select Your Razor Starter Kit
The starter kit includes a razor handle, 2 razor blades, and a magnetic holder. There are four different colors to choose from. I went with blush. The starter kit costs only $9.
Select Subscription Frequency
After you select your preferred color, you will select how often you shave. The options are:
- every day
- few times a week
- once a week
How frequently you shave your legs will determine when they’ll deliver a new one. I shave once a week, so they will deliver to me every three months. Every shipment contains 4 razor cartridges.
If at any time you need to modify your subscription / change frequency, you can easily do so by logging into your account and making a change. You have the option to adjust, skip, or cancel. Or you can also email them at [email protected] Personally, I did not need to change my subscription. Ive been using Billie for about 2 months so I’m only on my first shipment.
Cost of Subscription
The cost of each subscription is only $9 with FREE SHIPPING! This is my favorite part because initially I thought Billie razors would cost more than buying at the stores. It turns out Billie is much cheaper (especially since your first purchase comes with 2 blades and a holder). The price is what convinced me to try them out. And overall, I thought they shipped pretty quickly.
In addition to purchasing the starter kit, I also purchased the Razor Travel Case. It’s only $5 and that way I can always take it with me.
No Pink Tax
That’s right no extra fee associated with the cost of the razor. A pink tax is the extra amount of money women pay for their products such as razors, shampoos, tampons, etc. The pink tax can be built into the retail price. Most razor brands have the pink tax. Billie eliminated this extra amount.
What I Like About The Billie Razor
Affordable
As I mentioned earlier, the price is what convinced me that I should give it a try. It’s only $9 for the entire set with free shipping. And it will only cost $9 for every new shipment going forward. In my opinion, it is cheaper than buying at a store and the quality is way better!
Clean Products
All of Billie’s products are made with clean ingredients and no synthetic fragrance. They use the EWG (Environmental Working Group) standards and ensure these are non-toxic products. You guys know I’m all about safe beauty! Their EWG scores are between 1-2. That’s the safest score to get! There’s no parabens, synthetic dyes, sulfates, cheap foaming agents, etc.
Smoothest Shave
Their razor glides so smoothly on my skin. The razor head has 5 super sharp blades. I got zero knicks and it gives you a very close shave. Overall, I need to shave every week. Now it’s more like every 10 days because of the extra close shave. Wooho!! So to me, that is a huge improvement. I also did not get any razor burn.
Also, the razor blade is rust-free. I switched out my blade after a month and still didn’t see any rust even when it was due for a replacement.
Ergonomic Handle
The Billie handle is ergonomic. It is made with a matte rubber back so that it never slips in the shower. I can confirm that so far it has not yet slipped from my hands.
Made For Sensitive Skin
I have sensitive skin and experienced no issues. Billie’s products are specifically made and designed to accommodate people with sensitive skin.
Magnetic Holder
This might sound silly but I love Billie’s razor holder. First of all, no more suctioning the holder to the shower. I hate suction holders because they never last long. It comes with a sticky tab that you apply to the back of the holder and stick to your shower wall. As I mentioned, I have had this for over 2 months and it has not moved at all.
The holder and razor handle have magnets in them so that they can automatically latch on to each other. Again, have never experienced my razor falling off my shower wall yet. It’s amazing!
Is Billie Razor Worth It
So after trying it out for over 2 months, do I think the Billie razors are worth it? 100% it is! I was hesitant at first because every influencer in the world was sponsored by them. But honestly, it lived up to its hype. And you can’t beat the price. It’s $9, free shipping, and ships fairly quickly.
I love that I get the smoothest and closest shave without any knicks, and I only need to shave every 10 days. I can’t imagine using another razor brand. Some of you told me on Instagram that you love their shave cream. So I’m going to add that in my next shipment. Honestly, since their products are all clean, I’m going to try them. Below are their other products.
Have you tried Billie Razor? If so, what did you think of them?

Huge fan of Billie!! I, too, jumped on the bandwagon after seeing so many ladies on Insta taut the product. So much better than the drugstore alternative. If you try any of the other products, so share your thoughts on the blog!
100% agree! I’m glad I tried it out. I’ll definitely share whenever I try their other products. I will either share it here in a blog post or in my Instagram Stories.
Oh, and the packaging is so cute for the razor. AND they’ve recently been shipping razors in less packaging (a small envelope that can be recycled vs. a small plastic pouch AND a padded mailer). P.S. Typo in my first comment–I meant tout, not taut. LOL.
I swear I’m the only woman who doesn’t like Billie. I jumped on a sponsored link about a year ago. I never even got to the 2nd blade. I got horrible razor burn. I couldn’t deal! I went back to my overpriced Venus w/Olay blades that don’t hurt.
Oh no so sorry to hear! I totally get it though. It’s not for everyone and everyone’s body and skin reacts different. I’m so glad that at least you found one that works!
Haha no worries! I totally understood what you meant! I really love their minimal packaging too!
I’ve never heard of this brand before, but it sounds like they have a great razor! I actually need some, so I will definitely look into these. I love how affordable and pretty yours is, and it’s great that it glides so well.
Make Life Marvelous
Glad I can introduce you to them!
I have never heard of this razor but it does sound like a solid product and I love the optional subscription xx

If you get the razor, subscription is not option. However, there are different options to choose from.
I’ll have to look into this one! When I’m done with my current razor, I was planning on getting one of those sustainable stainless steel ones, but this might be a good one.

Overall it was a positive experience!
Just like you I prefer to use razors than wax so I found this article so useful.
You convinced me to try out this brand.
I didn’t know about it and now I hope they ship overseas.
It looks really cool. And it’s crazy to learn about the pink tax they add on the razors.
Now I also want to try their others products.

Hopefully they can ship to you!
I don’t think we have this subscription here in the UK, but we have the f.f.s one and I’m a big fan. It’s so important to change our razor blades regularly so these subscriptions are perfect for that. I really like the holder too haha xo

The holder is super cute!!
I’ve been hearing a lot about Billie Razor’s lately and think this is a sign for me to try! I’m ready to try a new razor brand!
Yay! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!
I’ve tried it and am a fan! Would recommend to anyone on the fence! xoxo, Sarah
Thanks so much for sharing Sarah!
I’ve been curious to read an unsponsored review of these razors and the other related products. I trust your reviews because I know you always do an amazing job being detailed an honest with what you write. Now I really want to try Billie! I’ve been using another brand I love for almost a year now, but it’d be fun to compare and contrast!
Aw that’s so kind of you! Which brand are you currently using? I’m very curious haha!
I keep hearing great things about this razor and you have convinced me to try it! Thank you for sharing your review!
