I Guess Everything My Sister Told Me About the Flamingo Razor Is True….!
Hi, I’m a member of the Dollar Shave Club because I have no shame and shave my legs with men’s razors. Who needs a fancy Venus Razor when I can buy a Mach3 Razors and get the job done like a world class champion. Hey, if nothing else I’m all about truth around here! Remember, I did confess to buying men’s razors in the past.
I’m a girlie girl you know this and I love all the pink frou frou razors as much as the next girl but in reality, I get a way smoother shave from a dude’s razor. Come on, be honest with me, you know when Summer comes and Venus starts putting out peach scented razors you’re one of the first people in line to buy one of those bad boys.
My sister recently purchased a Flamingo Razor from Target and she Facetimed me a few weeks ago and she was like, “THIS DOESN’T WORK! It doesn’t have a moisturizing strip!” The first thing, that entered my head was shaving cream. This girl does not understand the use of shaving cream. She relies on those moisturizing strips like they are going to perform a miracle shave for her. I kindly explained to her, “You’re using it wrong. Even if it doesn’t have a moisturizing strip you should use shaving cream because it’ll make the glide a whole lot better.” I mean, even with the moisturizing strip, which is a nice little extra to have around, you still need shaving cream in my humblest opinion.
Fast forward a few hours later to another Facetime call, “It still isn’t working even with shaving cream!” Dude, do you not know how to shave your legs? Must I step you through these things…! She ranted nearly 30 minutes about the horror of the Flamingo Razor.
Anyway, I decided to give it a try. Flamingo recently launched at Target so, I picked one up online and gave it a go. She’s right. It sucks. I never knew how important that damn moisturizing strip was until it was gone. Flamingo’s pretty nifty in some ways. She has five blades, all of which are sharp, she’s cheap as day old chips, and she’s pretty if not basic. But she drags like a mother even with a full leg of shaving cream on. I honestly, never realized before how helpful that little moisturizing strip was. It really create a smoother glide. Flamingo has perks for sure but without that moisturizing strip it just doesn’t give me the smoothest shave in the world.
Have you tried the Flamingo Razor?
Does it work for you?
