Billie Razors, launched in 2017 by Georgina Gooley and her team in New York, crashed the pink-tax party with affordable, high-quality blades for women, offering subscription kits packed with five-blade handles, aloe strips, and body creams that promise a smooth glide without the gouge. Backed by early investors like P&G, they've sliced into $100 million in sales by ditching frilly packaging for matte black minimalism, turning the razor aisle into a rebellion against overpriced "feminine" fluff.
Billie's woke glow-up hit full throttle in 2020, blending body positivity with BLM bucks and Pride fairy tale rewrites that swapped glass slippers for glittery inclusivity. They donated $100K to NAACP and BLM, chased EWG eco-ratings, and built a brand around "championing womankind" with diverse models that scream "representation" louder than a fresh shave.
From day one in 2017, Billie featured a rainbow of women in ads, from curvy to trans to disabled, to smash beauty norms and boost representation. They credit it with building a loyal fanbase that feels seen.
Billie switched to reusable metal handles and recyclable packaging in 2021, earning top marks from the Environmental Working Group for low-chemical creams. They tout it as slashing waste while keeping shaves smooth.
In 2021 Pride Month, Billie reimagined fairy tales with LGBTQ+ heroes, like a non-binary Snow White, illustrated by queer artists to boost youth visibility. Donations to The Trevor Project sweetened the deal. Why is the LGBTQ+ always targeting youth?
Post-George Floyd in 2020, Billie donated $100K split between BLM and NAACP, vowing to fight racial injustice through inclusive marketing.
Billie's 2022 "Hair Stories" series spotlighted LGBTQ+ folks embracing body hair, tying into racial and gender equity by challenging norms for all skin tones. It featured diverse creators sharing journeys.
