![]() In late 2021, Flamingo redesigned its razor, adding features like a “water-activated 360° comfort system and pivoting hinge.” The company also removed the original handle’s metal accents and shifted to making its razor out of “at least 35% recycled plastics.” After testing the new design, we miss the old Flamingo razor. Still, we think most people will probably be happier with Billie. This $7 razor is beautiful, and the starter kit (which now comes with a wall mount and extra head) is an excellent value. We also twice tried Flamingo, a five-blade model from the popular razor company Harry’s that also has an optional subscription service. Either way, we found that razors designed for facial shaving all have smaller, rectangular blades that are less equipped to handle the nuances of shaving a body, such as the broad expanse of a leg or the grooved valley of an armpit. While a 10-month subscription to Dollar Shave Club costs $90, a 10-month supply of razors from Dorco, for similar models with the same blades, costs under $30. In 2012, Ben Popken, the former editor of The Consumerist, confirmed that Dollar Shave Club buys all of its high-quality blades from Dorco. Its more popular four-blade model costs $6 per month, and a six-blade model costs $9 per month. The only razor that actually costs $1 a month is the company’s twin-blade subscription. Several readers inquired about Dollar Shave Club, the subscription service that promises to deliver high-quality razors to your doorstep for “ a dollar a month.” Though Dollar Shave Club claims its products are unisex, they’re shaped more like face razors, and most of its media shows people shaving their faces. And while the large pivoting head is helpful for shaving ankles and knees, it’s too cumbersome for shaving the bikini line. ![]() While customer reviewers who have arthritis or difficulty with hand steadiness laud the design, overall we found its six blades (two sets of three with a small gap between them) dull compared with those of our picks. You can also grip the handle like you would any other razor. There’s a fairly steep learning curve when shaving using the device as intended (if you buy this model on Amazon, along with a request to review the product, you will also receive from the company a PDF with four recommended options for maneuvering the device). Roller balls mounted in the handle that face the skin are meant to help the razor glide along. Unlike our picks, which are all cartridges atop long handles, the Aveline cartridge is mounted to a stout, curved handle with a hook for slipping over a finger-so there’s no need to grip anything. ✔️ FYI: We updated this article in March 2023 to give you the most up-to-date info on bikini trimmers, including new tried-and-tested picks, a dermatologist’s take on which ones are the best, and how to choose a bikini trimmer or razor for yourself.Intrigued by its unique design, we tried the six-blade Aveline razor from HeadBlade. So I personally tested and reviewed a handful of bikini trimmers and asked the real pros-board-certified dermatologist Mona Gohara, MD, and product research scientist Katelyn Liston-about what to look for and how to choose the best ones. Srsly, trimming your pubic hair is effective, affordable, quick, and easy (think: smooth skin without the pain of a Brazilian wax or the price tag of laser hair removal).īut the secret to finding the best bikini trimmer is figuring out your preferences and which trimmer has the features to accomplish them. And because I was over that sh*t, I've been playing around with new hair removal products in pursuit of the least irritating solution-which is how I came to ditch shaving in favor of bikini trimmers. If removing bikini line hair is your thing-or frankly, any of the hair on your body-you can relate to me saying that the razor bumps, razor burn, ingrown hairs, and itchiness that come along with it freaking sucks.
