Hope your summer has been treating you well! It's been a bit chaotic and yet calm for my little family. First half was insane with our move across the United States! Yup, we handed over our Florida sunshine keys for some PNW mountains (and Seattle rain). We had an amazing road trip- I'll share another post about that and everything we did soon. Everyone should do a road trip once in their life...just saying.
I wanted to share a new product I found and have been loving!! Now, if you follow any of the amazing Instagram Fashion bloggers you have seen this handy dandy tool we (women) use all the time. I'm talking about the Billie Razor. I fell into the hype and ordered my own. I hate shaving and I hate every razor I have ever used. I even used my husbands disposable razors for a while, those actually seemed to work better then ones meant for us ladies. Go figure!
I gave Billie a good solid month of use and I'm here to report my findings on this razor that has received so much hype from the Influencer world. And my friends, its good. Reeeaaaal good! And you can not beat the price and convince of this fab little tool!
So, Billie...where do I begin. Billie is a "female first" razor company. 100% geard towards us women only. The razor has 5 blades that are encased in 360 degrees of charcoal shave soap (meaning you don't need shaving cream). All of their products are free of toxins and bad additives. They also currently donate 1% of all revenue to Women's causes around the world. Pretty good deal to get a good shave and feel good that part of your purchase is helping other women. Win-Win in my book!
The starter kit is $9 and free shipping. Woohoo! You get the razor handle (a few colors to pick from- all super cute!), two razor heads and a magnet to stick to your wall to hold your razor. You can then add on shaving cream, body lotion, and body wash. I added on shaving cream, making it a whopping total of $18. Not to shabby to keep my lady parts hair free! And did I mention, shipping is always free?!
Shipping for your starter kit does takes a little while. It took about 2 weeks for me to receive my order. Kind of annoying since I was so excited to try it out, but it is what it is. You are then automatically set up (depending on how you answered their questions) to receive your razor refills every month or other month for only $9! Now if you want the shaving cream or anything else to come with your razor replacement it will be more then $9. You can change your shipment dates at anytime and can cancel at any time. But I'm not sure you'll want to. I'm set up for every 2 months and I'll receive 4 blades and a shaving cream. But I may skip the shaving cream this shipment. A little goes a long way, but I'll get more into that below.
So my experience. Packaging is cute as can be, simple but colorful and happy. The razor it self is great quality and also super cute. I choose the two toned razor and I love the bright colors! The shaving cream is great! A little goes a very long way! I'm due to get a new bottle in September and I think I'm going to change it to my November shipment. I'm not even half way through the bottle! And the smell is great too! Not strong and very pleasant. I may try out the body wash and lotion next.
So how was the shave? My first shave I thought "well it's like a regular razor". I wasn't overly impressed. I had to shave two days later, which was disappointing because I kept hearing women say they can go like three to four days without shaving. But after the 2nd shave I started to see a difference. I dont know how it's happening or why, but my hair is growing back slower, softer and less. I can no go about 3, maybe 4 days without shaving my legs. Its about the 3rd day I even realize I should probably thinking about shaving. What is this sorcery?!
I dont know how Billie has done it, but they've made a great product. If you've been on the fence about trying it and thinking its all just Influencer hype, I'm here to tell you it's not. It really does work. And it's cheap and convenient! I never have to stand in the razor and shaving cream isle at Target again. YAS!
I'm going to include a link to order yourself a razor. Click here. The link will bring you to the Pink Tax Rebate page and if you put in your email you also get a code that allows you to share with friends and family. The Pink Tax Rebate gives you money off towards your next purchases. You most certainly don't have to join the Pink Tax Rebate, but I'm betting you're going to love Billie as much as I do and want to share it with everyone too.
Let me know if you try it out and what your thoughts and experience are with Billie! Talk to you all soon!
