FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

About Make My Shave & Your Razor Subscription

Who is Make My Shave?

Make My Shave™ is an Australian-owned beauty brand redefining shave care for women.

We believe shaving should feel like skincare—gentle, effective, and even a little luxurious.

Our range of vegan-certified razors and eco-friendly dermaplaning tools are designed to deliver glowing results without the waste, irritation or fuss.

It’s beauty on your terms: simple, sustainable, and made to help you feel confident in your own skin.

We’re proud to be purpose-led, female-founded, and committed to doing things differently—from the way we treat skin, to the way we care for the planet.

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

It all comes down to commitment.

Our Women's Razor is a one-time purchase—ideal if you want to try our product without subscribing. You’ll receive our signature platinum-glow handle, two premium razor heads, and sustainable packaging. No strings attached.

The Starter Kit is designed for those ready to embrace the ease of a subscription. You’ll still get the same premium razor, but with the added convenience of blade refills delivered to your door—and the chance to subscribe and save.

Both options include:
✓ 1x reusable platinum-glow handle
✓ 2x razor heads with our unique 360° moisture cushion
✓ Eco-friendly packaging

How does the razor subscription work?

Before purchasing your Starter Kit, you’ll create a personalised shave plan—choosing how often you’d like refills (every 1, 2, or 3 months).

First, we’ll send your Starter Kit with your reusable razor and two premium blades. Then, like clockwork, we’ll deliver 4 fresh razor heads to your door based on your chosen frequency.

No more last-minute store runs or dull blades—just a simpler, smoother shave, always on hand.

You’ll have access to your own account to easily pause, update, or cancel anytime, and our friendly Australian-based team is here if you need help.

Total control. Zero fuss. Shaving, made effortless.

Do I control my subscription?

Yes! Your subscription is completely flexible. You can pause, skip, change your delivery frequency, or cancel anytime—no questions asked.

You’ll have access to your own account dashboard, and if you ever need a hand, our Aussie-based support team is here to help.

Your razor, your routine, your rules.

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 soaps and facial oils are proudly made in Australia in partnership with trusted local manufacturers.

Our razors and blades are expertly crafted in China, ensuring premium quality and performance, while meeting our strict ethical and sustainability standards.

Can I purchase the razor without a subscription?

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 profits from every razor subscription towards planting native trees and species.

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. 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 smart, sustainable packaging for all our products—everything is either recyclable or home-compostable.

Our women’s razor, dermaplaner, and refill blades are packaged in recyclable kraft materials, while our facial oil comes in recyclable glass.

Orders are shipped in eco-friendly envelopes or kraft boxes, housed in home-compostable mailers from Hero Packaging. We also use soy-based ink on our eco-friendly stickers from NoIssue—and we keep things minimal by skipping unnecessary printouts.

Because for us, shave care should be kinder—to your skin and the planet. ♻️

Your Razor, Dermaplaner and Shaving

Why does the reusable razor give the closest shave?

Voted Best Razor of 2024 in the Beauty Shortlist Awards, our reusable razor is designed to deliver the smoothest shave—every time. The ergonomic metal handle is perfectly weighted for control and pressure, while the non-slip grip glides effortlessly around curves.

Each razor head features 5 ultra-sharp blades and a 360° moisture cushion infused with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E to protect sensitive skin. Fewer passes, less irritation, and a brilliantly close finish that lasts.

What is the ingredients of the moisture cushion?

Our 360° moisture cushion is infused with a gentle blend of Aloe Vera and Vitamin E to help soothe, hydrate, and protect your skin as you shave. This skin-loving combination allows the blades to glide effortlessly, reducing friction and irritation—leaving your skin feeling smooth, nourished, and refreshed.

We’re also proud to say our razor is 100% Certified by Vegan Australia. That means none of the ingredients in our moisture cushion are derived from animals, and our entire shave system meets strict cruelty-free standards. A kind choice—for your skin and the planet.

Ingredients:
Polyethylene glycol, Polystyrene, Styrene-Ethylene/Butylene-Styrene (SEBS), Aloe Vera Extract, Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

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.
