Billie
If you shave at a consistent schedule, Billie will be better for you because of its convenient and automatic subscription service.
- Billie and Flamingo are two new women's shaving startups making sharp and affordable razors.
- Billie is a subscription service, offering a $9 razor with $9 refills, while Flamingo is not, but also sells a $9 razor with $9 refills.
- The similarities and differences don't stop there. We compared other aspects of these two companies so you can decide which is better for your shaving needs.
Shaving, if you choose to do it, is usually an inefficient and time-intensive process. It's also one of those personal-care habits that quietly sucks the money out of your wallet (for some, more quickly than others depending on how often you shave).
Online startups like Harry's and Dollar Shave Club brought fresh changes to the shaving industry by making sharp, high-quality razors and sending them to your door for less. Not only men used their products. Women did, too, but there was always the sense the razor designs and skin-care products could be better tailored to women's needs.
Two new startups, Billie and Flamingo, are finally making women's lives easier with their affordable shaving solutions. As the two biggest disruptors of the women's shaving scene, they're often compared - which is better, Billie or Flamingo?
To help you decide which new women's shaving brand is for you, we put them side by side and looked more closely at what products they sell, how much you'll pay, and the shaving experiences themselves.
We've tried the razors and body-care products from both companies (you can read our Billie review here and our Flamingo review here), so we can offer our personal takes alongside the factual details.
Learn about the similarities and differences between these two leading women's shaving startups below.
