It’s no secret that I love testing out new beauty products and tools, but I have to admit that I’ve never really put much thought towards a razor. This explains why I put off upgrading mine for so long. My shaving routine has always been pretty simple and fuss-free, so I would just grab whatever I found during my weekly grocery store run. Lately, I noticed that there’s been a lot of buzz about the Billie razor, and it piqued my interest because I haven’t really ever found one that I absolutely loved. So when I got the chance to try out the Billie subscription service, I jumped at the opportunity. I’ve been testing this product for weeks now and wanted to share my thoughts on whether the Billie razor is worth the hype.
What is Billie…
Billie is a new razor system designed specifically for women. It’s a five-blade razor that claims to deliver a smooth, close shave without causing any razor burn or bumps. The blades are encased in charcoal shave soap with rounded edges, which acts as a buffer for your skin during the shave.
They also have a shave cream, body wash, and body lotion that you can purchase individually or add to your subscription. Each product runs for less than $12 and you can get free shipping on orders over $15. As you guys know I’ve been gearing more towards clean, non-toxic products. Although I haven’t made the switch 100%, I’m happy that all Billie products are free of toxic ingredients and synthetic fragrances.
How it works…
You can get started with Billie by signing up for the Starter Kit, which comes with one unique handle (there are so many cute colors to pick from), two five-blade razor cartridges, and a magnetic holder that you can stick to your shower wall. This holder helps keep your razor dry and free of bacteria. The best part is, the kit is only $9 and you get free shipping. They’ll deliver four replacement cartridges to your door for just $9 free of shipping charges too – and you can elect to get them delivered as often as you need. This is perfect especially if you’re like me and have the tendency to forget to pick up new razors throughout the month. You can set up your preferences when you sign up here.
The verdict…
I can honestly say that I love how this razor feels on my legs and underarms. The blades are so sharp and get close to the skin, which allows me to go several days in between shaves. And with the charcoal soap on each blade, your legs and body will feel clean and smooth. The price point is incredible for the quality and design and I’m happy to say that I’ll be keeping this one in my regular body care routine.
