FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

About Make My Shave & Your Razor Subscription

What is Make My Shave?

Make My Shave™ is the Australian body care brand blending personal care with environmental responsibility.

Through skincare-inspired shave care, our razors and body care products transform your daily routine into an exceptionally smooth experience, all while being kinder to the planet.

What's the difference between the Female Razor and Starter Kit?

The main difference between the Female Razor and the Starter Kit is the commitment.

The Female Razor allows you to try our product without subscribing to any ongoing service. It's a one-time purchase, perfect for those who want to experience the razor before committing to regular deliveries.

On the other hand, the Starter Kit is designed for those ready to enjoy the ease of a shaving subscription, where you can subscribe and save on regular blade refills delivered straight to your door.

Both kits include our polished aluminium reusable razor handle, two 5-blade razor heads with an Aloe Vera & Vitamin E infused moisture cushion, as well as sustainable packaging, and free delivery anywhere in Australia.

How does the razor subscription work?

Before purchasing the Starter Kit, you're invited to create a customised shave plan tailored to your needs.

We'll first ship your Starter Kit, and then, based on the frequency you choose—every 1, 2, or 3 months—we'll deliver 4 new razor heads directly to your door.

By joining our hassle-free subscription service, you’ll enjoy a new level of convenience. No more last-minute store trips, dull blades, or concerns about the cost of refills.

Plus, you’ll have access to your own account and an Australian-based customer support team ready to assist you.

And the best part?

You can easily pause, modify, or cancel your subscription whenever you like, giving you full control over your shave-positive routine.

Do I control my subscription?

For sure! You choose how often you’d like your new razor head refills delivered; every 1 month, 2 months or 3 months.

You can also take a break, change or cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account.

If you need any help updating your account or would like us to arrange a bespoke delivery schedule just for you, simply contact us at any time. We're always happy to help.

Where are products made?

Our Shave Cushion and Mini Soap are made locally in Australia. Our Loofah, Razors and Blades are of the highest quality and made in China.

Can I purchase the razor without a subscription?

Absolutely! you can purchase our Make My Shave razor as a one-off purchase with our Razor-Only option or with our SkinDetox Bundle Box or our Face & Body Bundle.

Make My Shave is designed to give you the convenience of new razor heads delivered to your door. Subscribing also gives you access to greater savings AND makes life SO MUCH easier!

If you decide Make My Shave isn’t for you, no problem—cancelling is quick and easy, with no strings attached. Plus, our Australian-based customer support team is always available to assist you.

Sustainability

How are my trees planted?

From 1 April 2023, Make My Shave partnered with House of 10,000 Petals Regeneration Trust for new tree planting projects.

The collaboration aims to support regenerative projects in Corndale, a subtropical area in Northern NSW. Make My Shave donates 5% of every razor subscription towards planting native trees and species.

Our donations are made every three months — we simply calculate the number of Starter Kits and Refill Kits that have been ordered and donate the funds directly to the Trust.

Our team are also on the ground to support tree planting days. We share updates with our community, showing you exactly what happens with the donated funds.

Why do we plant trees in Australia?

We are committed to helping rehabilitate ecosystems, starting with those on our doorstep. 

From 1 April 2023, our regeneration initiatives will help restore biodiversity in the subtropical area of Corndale in Northern NSW.

How do I recycle my used blades?

We provide a recycling option for used razor heads. Simply purchase our Pink Mailer and send your blades back whenever you're ready.

If you wish to send them back via your own means, you can do this by returning your used blades (caps on) to:

Make My Shave
Po Box 364, Miami,
Queensland, 4220

We'll do the rest!

What happens to used blades?

Once used blades are returned to us, they're put in our Zero Waste Box™ and then shipped to TerraCycle® Australia.
Everything collected through the Zero Waste Box™ system is sorted and processed into raw materials that can be reused instead of being sent to landfill.

Who is TerraCycle®?

TerraCycle® is a social enterprise and waste management expert. Their Zero Waste Box™ is a recycling solution for typically hard-to-recycle materials, which are then turned into new products. Through their recycling system, TerraCycle® has diverted millions of pounds of valuable resources from landfills all over the world.

Do you provide eco-friendly packaging?

Yes! We've designed clever sustainable packaging for all our products.

Our packaging can either be recycled or composted at home. We like to keep things simple and sustainable.

We use eco-friendly stickers and soy-based ink from NoIssue and avoid unnecessary printed promotions. ♻️

How do you offset your carbon footprint?

We offset the carbon used in delivering our subscription products to our customers through Greenfleet Australia.

Your Razor and Shaving

Why does the reusable razor give the closest shave?

Voted Best Razor of 2024 in the Beauty Shortlist Awards, Make My Shave transforms shaving into a positive experience for women across Australia.

Our iconic reusable razor handle is crafted from rust-resistant zinc aluminium, ensuring durability and longevity. The non-slip rubber grip allows for effortless control over curves, while the weighted, ergonomic design provides just the right amount of pressure for a brilliantly close shave.

Our razor heads feature 5 ultra-sharp blades, paired with a 360-degree moisturising cushion infused with the skin-soothing benefits of Vitamin E and Aloe Vera.

Together, the handle and razor heads deliver a flawlessly smooth shave every time.

What is the ingredients of the moisture cushion?

Our 360-degree moisture cushion is infused with a soothing blend of Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, designed to care for your skin as you shave.

This gentle combination calms and hydrates the skin, allowing the blades to glide effortlessly over your shaving areas, leaving your skin feeling smooth, nourished, and refreshed.

Our razor is also 100% Certified by Vegan Australia, meaning that none of the ingredients used in our razor heads are derived from animals. This certification reflects our commitment to cruelty-free and ethical practices, ensuring that your shave is not only smooth but also kind to the planet and all its creatures.


Ingredients list: Polyethylene glycol, Polystyrene, Styrene Ethylene B (styrene ethylene / butylene styrene), Aloe Vera extract, Vitamin E

How many blades does the head have?

Each head has 5 super sharp stainless steel blades made in Sweden.

How often should I change my razor head?

Thankfully variety is the spice of life, and everyone is different. Not all women shave the same parts, and of course, hair can vary in texture, thickness, and growth speed. 

Our blades are designed for quality, which means they tend to last longer than average razor heads.


While we suggest changing your blades around 5-10 shaves, what’s actually important is how you feel.

You can always start with a bi-monthly subscription and if you decided that either one or three months would work better for you, simply update your account. If you'd prefer to have a bespoke delivery schedule, simply reach out to us directly and we'll arrange this for you.

How do I care for my razor and heads?

Taking good care of your razor and heads will ensure a sharper shave for longer. Rinse your women's razor thoroughly after each shave — the open-back design of the razor head makes it easy to clean. Keep your razor out of water when not in use. It’s also better to keep your razor head upright so that it's not lying facedown on a surface. 

The Make My Shave razor holder can help extend the life of your blades. The stainless steel design means you can hang it exactly where you want it. 

Can men use the Make My Shave razor?

While Make My Shave is created for women, men can absolutely enjoy the razor too. The Superlube head smooths legs, arms, face, and private areas including pubes, butts, and balls. 

Do I still need to use shaving gel?

Once wet, the razor head provides a gorgeous gooey lubrication. You may find this lube gives enough protection for a smooth, bump-free shave. But remember, everyone’s skin is different, so you may prefer to use your razor with a gel, oil, soap, or foam. 

For a truly dreamy smooth shave, we recommend trying our Shave Cushion.

Does the razor work on pubic areas?

If you’re thinking about a razor for pubic hair, our razor works great on desired areas. The comfort grip handle is easy to hold and gets to hard-to-reach places while the cushioning around the blades is kind to delicate spots. 

For great tips on shaving pubic hair, check out our Earth & Body Blog.

How does the lifetime handle warranty work?

At Make My Shave, we're confident that your razor and dermaplaner will be your lifelong shaving companions. That's why we proudly introduce our 'Lifetime Handle Warranty'. When you subscribe to Make My Shave, you automatically activate your Lifetime Handle Warranty with us.

What's Covered:
We've got you covered when it comes to faulty elements. If you experience issues with clips, buttons, or grips, we'll replace them for you hassle-free.

What's Not Covered:
Please note that the Lifetime Handle Warranty does not cover a lost or misplaced razor handle. Additionally, any damage caused by neglect, such as accidentally dropping the handle from a height, is not covered by this warranty.

How to Request a Handle Replacement:
If you encounter any issues covered by our Lifetime Handle Warranty and wish to apply for a new handle, simply send a description and photo of your handle to hello@makemyshave.com.au, and we'll assist you with an immediate replacement. Please note that a colour change cannot be offered.

We're committed to ensuring your shaving experience is always exceptional.
