Meet Instagram’s Favorite Razor
To say that I’m fascinated by body hair removal is an understatement. It’s a joy to watch your hair fall out of your skin and wash down the drain. When it comes to my appearance, I’m not hiding the fact that I don’t get rid of my dark facial and body hair. I’ve tried epilating, at-home waxing, professional waxing, and the old-fashioned disposable razor to get rid of my dark stubble because it irritates me to no end.
After seeing Billie’s Instagram and Facebook posts, I had two thoughts: That is the cutest shaving kit I’ve ever seen and Billie Eilish made it? I’d like to make it crystal clear: There is no connection between the young musician and the razor company. To find out if it really worked, I used the colorful Billie razor that’s been making waves on Instagram lately.
When I finally got hands on the set, I was astonished by how beautifully packaged these razors were. Even from the pictures, it’s clear that this razor’s handle is a step up from your standard straight razor. Billie’s whole mission is to make quality shaving supplies more affordable for women. There is a tax on women’s personal hygiene products, hair care products, fashion items, and more called the “pink tax,” which Billie aims to fight. For the record, this is the first time I’ve heard of a razor subscription service for women. Sure, I was familiar with Dollar Shave Club and Harry’s, but to hear that a company acknowledged that — shocker — women grow hair and shave it off too? How wonderful that someone finally noticed.
So… What’s The Deal With Billie Razors?
Billie, a subscription-based shaving service, has developed a razor for women. Legs and ankles can be shaped and softened, and razor heads don’t get clogged. “Our choice to be shaggy, smooth, or anything in between” is what Billie is all about. While most commercials for razors show perfectly airbrushed, already-hairless legs, this one claims to be the first to actually show hair. Billie is a proponent of making the internet “a little fuzzier” and accepting the natural hair growth of women.
In order to remove hair, the company offers shaving cream and razors; in order to remove makeup, the company offers body wash, body lotion, dry shampoo, tinted lip balm, and makeup wipes (all of which I tested). The razor is the company’s flagship product, and colors available for the Billie grip include Coral, Highlighter (yellow), DreamPop (multi-colored), Periwinkle, and Billie Blush (pale pink).
How To Order Your New Favorite Razor
Billie’s ordering process is simpler than others I’ve tried. Just click “The $9 Starter Kit” to learn about Billie subscription products. Extra 5-blade disposable cartridge and magnetic shower stall holder included. Handle and cartridge included. One more button lets you choose your razor’s color, how often you want replacement cartridges, and any additional products. I also bought $8 shave cream to complete the Billie shaving experience. You can get a closer, more comfortable shave with free shipping on subscriptions or orders over $15.
The Razor You Need, Whenever You Need It
Subscriptions to the Billie razor service cost $9 per shipment, which is already impressive when compared to the $39 monthly fees charged by rival companies. After filling out a three-step questionnaire, Billie will be able to best understand your shaving needs. Coral, DreamPop, Blush, Periwinkle, and Cool Blue are all options for the razor color. I went with DreamPop, the brand’s most popular shade of pink and purple.
By answering a series of questions about your shaving habits, you’ll be able to customize a subscription plan just for you (monthly, bimonthly, or even trimonthly shipments). From a sustainability standpoint, I like this because you only get the amount you need. A Billie handle, one magnetic razor holder, and two razor cartridges with built-in lather bars are included in your first shipment. You’ll get four replacement cartridges in every subsequent shipment, but only if you need them.
Are Billie Razors Worth the Money?
Yes! Even if you’re not a fan of slinky legs, the price is hard to argue with. To find a quality disposable razor for less than $9 in a drugstore is nearly impossible, so with free shipping, Billie stays true to its initial cost and fulfills its promise of an affordable, high-quality razor with free shipping. It’s also delivered right to your door.
The Bottom Line
If you’re already into shaving but want a more convenient and less expensive option, Billie is an excellent choice. To top it all off, the convenience of having cartridges delivered to your door (free of charge) and the cleanliness of cartridges make shaving a breeze. There are no strings attached to canceling your subscription with Billie, as per her policy. Get started here.
