About Make My Shave

Who is Make My Shave?

Make My Shave™ is an Australian-owned shave and skincare brand founded in 2021 by wife and husband team Lindsay and Mike, right here on the Gold Coast, Queensland.

We started with a simple frustration — too much plastic, too much irritation, and razors that weren't designed with women's skin in mind. So we built something better.

Today, Make My Shave is home to Australia's only Vegan Australia certified women's razor, our 100% plastic-free Metal Dermaplaner, and a growing range of skin-loving shave care and skincare essentials. Everything we make is designed to be kinder to your skin, kinder to the planet, and genuinely enjoyable to use.

We're proudly Australian-owned, purpose-led, and committed to doing things differently — from the ingredients we choose, to the packaging we ship in, to the wildlife we support. A portion of every order goes directly to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital on the Gold Coast, helping rehabilitate native animals across Australia.

Smooth skin, happy planet. That's the idea.

Body Razor

What makes the Make My Shave razor different?

Our women's razor is built around a simple idea — a close, comfortable shave that's genuinely kinder to your skin and the planet.

The weighted metal handle gives you natural control without pressing hard, while the pivoting head moves with every curve of your body. Each razor head features five ultra-sharp blades and a unique 360° moisture cushion infused with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E — the only formula of its kind certified by Vegan Australia.

The result is fewer passes, less irritation, and skin that feels soft and smooth after every shave.

We also provide sustainable packaging and a blade recycling programme through TerraCycle Australia. And because we're Gold Coast locals, a portion of every order goes directly to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital to support native wildlife rehabilitation.

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 shipped (every 1, 2, or 3 months).

First, we’ll send your Starter Kit with your reusable razor handle and two premium blades. Then, as per your plan, 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.

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 Face & Body Bundle or Jumbo Shave Set.

Our subscription is designed to make your routine easier, with fresh razor heads delivered to your door—plus, you’ll enjoy extra savings.

Not ready to commit? That’s totally fine. You can cancel anytime, hassle-free.

And if you ever need help, our friendly Australian-based support team is here for you.

Is the razor suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, our razor it's designed with sensitive skin in mind. The 360° moisture cushion provides a protective layer between the blades and your skin, reducing friction and helping to prevent irritation, bumps, and ingrown hairs.

The pivoting head also means you don't need to apply extra pressure to get a close shave. Less pressure means less irritation, even on knees, ankles, and other tricky areas.

That said, every skin is different, and while the vast majority of our customers with sensitive skin love the results, we know it isn't for everyone. If you're unsure, we recommend starting on a small area first to see how your skin responds before shaving larger areas.

And if you try it and it's not right for you, our 30-day money-back guarantee means you can buy with confidence. Just reach out to our Gold Coast team within 30 days and we'll take care of you.

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 often should I change my razor head?

As a general guide, most women find a fresh blade every 5–8 shaves keeps their skin smooth and irritation-free. The most reliable signal isn't a number though, it's how the blade feels. When your razor starts to drag rather than glide, or your skin feels more irritated than usual after shaving, that's your cue to swap the head. A sharp blade should always feel effortless.

If you're purchasing our razor subscription, we recommend starting with a delivery of fresh blades every 2 months, and if you decide that either 1 or 3 months would work better for you, simply let us know and we'll change your delivery frequency to whatever works best for you.

Can men use the Make My Shave razor?

While Make My Shave is created for women, men can absolutely enjoy the razor too. The razor 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. Many women find this lubrication gives enough protection for a smooth, bump-free shave. But remember, everyone’s skin is different, so you may prefer to add shaving gel, oil, soap, or foam to your routine. We recommend working with your skin preferences.

Can I add additional products to my subscription?

Yes. You can add additional products to your women's razor subscription including Dermaplaner Refills, Gua Sha Facial Tool, Dermaplaning Facial Oil, or our Recycling Mailer. You can add products as a one-time option or include them in every ongoing order — they'll ship together with your razor head refills.

Please note that our subscription is designed primarily for razor head refills. We're unable to fulfil a subscription order that doesn't include razor head refills. If you'd like dermaplaning refills without a razor subscription, simply purchase them separately as a one-off order whenever you need them.

Dermaplaning/Facial Razor

What makes the Make My Shave dermaplaner different?

Most dermaplaning tools are plastic: disposable by design, with limited precision and a short lifespan. Ours is built differently.

The Make My Shave Metal Dermaplaner is 100% plastic-free, crafted from weighted metal handle that gives you natural pressure control without having to think about it. The ergonomic design includes a finger divot that guides your hand to the correct angle — making it significantly easier to use at home than tools without it, particularly for first-timers.

The precision-angled blade is designed specifically for facial exfoliation; gentle enough to use on delicate skin, sharp enough to remove peach fuzz and dead skin cells effectively in a single pass. And because the blade is replaceable rather than fixed, you're never replacing the whole tool, just the part that wears out.

It's also backed by a lifetime warranty on the handle and shipped from the Gold Coast, Queensland.

The result is a professional-quality dermaplaning experience at home — without the clinic price tag, without the disposable waste, and without the learning curve. You also don't have to worry about running out of batteries at a critical moment.

What actually is dermaplaning and what does it do?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skincare technique that uses a precision blade to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair — commonly known as peach fuzz — from the surface of your face.

The result is immediately visible: smoother, brighter skin with a more even complexion.

Unlike chemical exfoliants that work gradually over time, dermaplaning delivers results you can see and feel after your very first session. It also primes your skin so that serums, moisturisers, and makeup sit better, making it a favourite pre-event treatment for a reason.

Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker or darker?

No — and this is the question we get asked more than almost any other. Dermaplaning removes peach fuzz at the surface of the skin only. Because the hair is trimmed rather than removed from the root, it grows back exactly as it was: the same texture, the same colour, the same density. It may feel slightly different for a day or two as the blunt-cut end grows back, but the hair itself hasn't changed.

How often should I dermaplane?

Every 2–4 weeks is the sweet spot for most people. Dermaplaning more frequently than this can lead to sensitivity or over-exfoliation. How often you dermaplane will also depend on how quickly your peach fuzz grows back and how your skin responds after each session. If your skin feels tight or reactive after a session, give it an extra week before your next one. Let your skin guide the timing, not the calendar.

Sustainability

What are your sustainability initiatives?

We believe small choices can make a big difference, and we're committed to making as many of them as we can.

From the beginning, reducing waste has been built into how we operate. Our packaging is either kerbside recyclable or home-compostable, we use FSC-certified materials wherever we can, and we offer a blade Recycling Mailer so your used razor heads can be processed through TerraCycle Australia rather than ending up in landfill.

We've also planted over 2,000 trees through our environmental partnerships — work we're proud of and committed to continuing.

From 2026, we're now proudly supporting Currumbin Wildlife Hospital on the Gold Coast — one of Queensland's most trusted native wildlife rehabilitation centres, caring for more than 16,000 injured animals each year including koalas, kangaroos, and birds. As Gold Coast locals, it's a cause that's genuinely close to home for us, and a portion of every Make My Shave order goes directly to supporting their work. 🐨

We're committed to continuing to learn, improve, and find new ways to make a positive impact — for your routine and for the world around us.

How do I recycle my used blades?

Body Razor — Razor Head Recycling
We've made this as easy as possible. Purchase our prepaid Pink Mailer, fill it with your used Make My Shave razor heads, and when you're ready, simply, drop it in the postbox. Return postage is fully covered.

Once your heads arrive back with us, they go into our Zero Waste Box™ and are shipped to TerraCycle® Australia, where everything is sorted and processed into raw materials that can be reused, keeping plastic and metal out of landfill and back in circulation.

Your Pink Mailer holds up to 24 razor heads, so there's no rush. Collect them over time and send them back when you're ready.

Dermaplaner Blades — Safe Disposal
Dermaplaner blades can't go in the Pink Mailer. Unlike enclosed razor cartridges, dermaplaner blades are exposed sharp metal, which means they require specialised handling that our standard recycling program isn't set up for.

For safe disposal, we recommend contacting your local council for guidance. Most councils offer designated sharps or metal disposal options — check their website for details specific to your area.

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 bottles.

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. ♻️
