  • Thanks for checking out my honest review of the Billie razor! I had seen so many ads for this razor on Instagram until I finally caved and ordered it for myself! Billie offers "razors built for womankind" and various body care products. It's time to find out if this shaving subscription service is worth the hype. I also ordered the Billie body lotion for good measure.
    I hope you enjoyed this unboxing and review of Billie razors which was not sponsored! Will you be checking out this women's shave club? Let me know in the comments. Please hit "thumbs up" and subscribe for more videos!
    One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that Billie offers FREE SHIPPING which is AWESOME.

    • @candidcait
      @candidcait  5 років тому +33

      Do you mean the coating around the blades? I would say it’s pretty minimal. It feels mostly solid but when wet it gives a little extra slip for a more comfortable shave. I think you should be fine but also I don’t know about your particular allergies/sensitivities!

      Same here, I've tried this and flamingo razors and both give me a closer shave but extreme razor burn because I guess its actually scraping off the first layer of my skin. Disappointing so I'll have to stick to Venus Swirl. It doesnt give me the closest shave, but also doesnt give me razor burn

      @shamsaakbar1194 4 роки тому +4

      @Googoo ga ga it's yo boi Baby Yoda Girl I know the struggle! Im a hairy Pakistan girl got the same issue. Venus swirl is pretty good, I havent cut myself once with it. I exfoliate my skin with a scrub first and then use a thick shaving cream or gel. Venus swirl is pretty gentle!

    • @shamsaakbar1194
      @shamsaakbar1194 4 роки тому +4

      @Martin Whalen I exfoliate first, use a thick shave cream, and then use an after shave liquid that cleans and closes my pores. When I use a Venus razor the after shave liquid doesnt sting, and when I use billie razor my entire leg is on fire when I put on the aftershave. So I think the Billie razor is just giving me too many cuts. I might just have sensitive skin so that might be it. I switched back to Venus because it doesnt give me razor burn

      @joellebrodeur1015 4 роки тому +15

      I've been using Venus razors for years and although they're convenient, the heads are bulky, you can't get a close shave, they dull rather quickly and if you're not careful, you'll cut yourself up badly on a fresh blade. Plus, the 4 head replacement pack has gone up to $18 per pack. I figured for $9 I try Billie and see how it goes. For those who don't know, the majority of blades are nickel, which sucks if you have an allergy to that alloy. Billie razors are stainless steel and supposedly better for your skin if you're prone to nickel allergies. I hope that clarifies why people have been switching over to Billie razors.

    • @candidcait
      @candidcait  4 роки тому +5

      This is really interesting! I was not aware that most razors are made with nickel and Billie isn't. I do have some skin sensitivity to using earrings that aren't nickel free or high quality metal. I wonder if this contributes to why I like this razor! Thanks for sharing this info :)

  • @wd5500
    @wd5500 5 років тому +21

    I was using a Gillette extra-sensitive five-blade razor and I decided to try Billie because it was magnetic however it left me with razor burn and for some reason it made my armpits super sensitive. Almost as if it wasn't cutting my hair properly. I reached out to the company and they sent me a free bottle of shave cream. however that didn't help anything I probably wouldn't recommend it if your skin is super sensitive.

    • @candidcait
      @candidcait  5 років тому +6

      Sorry that happened to you - that's frustrating! My first blade was great and then with my second razor head I used it once to quickly dry shave under my arms as I was running out the door and didn't rinse it out after and I feel like it started to give me a little razor burn after that - like I had ruined the sharpness maybe? I switched out the razor head again and now always use it wet + rinse after and I haven't had any issues since!

      lala yup Good question! She said she got razor burn while using it, and she had never gotten razor burn before with any other razor. My legs are very prone to razor burn, even with more expensive, name-brand razors, and I did not experience it with billie. The difference may be a combination of our skin types, how often we change blades, and how we shave (ex. whether we dry shave or use shave gel/soap). I have not discussed the exact details with her!

I ended up liking the razor and continuing to pay for my subscription. Anyone who signs up for billie can get their own referral link to share with friends (UA-camr or not). I am pretty sure the maximum total reward that you can earn is a $20 rebate back. I decided to include the referral link after filming and uploading the video since I recommend the product and plan to keep using it. It was not a factor in the review itself.

    • @candidcait
      @candidcait  4 роки тому +2

      Ok honestly, over time I’ve noticed a little inconsistency with how long the blades last. Not sure if it’s something I’m doing / depends on how I treat them or what shaving cream or I’m using, but sometimes I feel like I can use a blade for weeks without any issues, other times I feel super ready to swap to a new one after just two weeks! At $9 for four blades, I am really not that bothered by this, since at that price I can afford to swap out as often as I want. When I filmed this review I had taken one blade on a three week trip and felt it worked amazing for all three weeks! But since then I have occasionally had a billie blade that only lasted two weeks. Just wanted to be open about the inconsistency I’ve experienced! Still think it’s a great razor and well worth the price! EDIT: I should note that this is with me shaving typically every other day (about 4x per week). Experience may be different based on usage.

      Nika Khalili When I first started shaving years ago, I was using a cheap disposable razor and I definitely cut myself trying to figure it out. I think this is a good option for beginners. I would recommend using soap or shave gel to lather your legs to help avoid cuts when you’re new to shaving. (P.S. I recently tried the shave gel that billie makes, and I didn’t love it. Stick to a bar of soap or pick up a shave gel from Target!)
