A newly-released video has highlighted the shocking - and arguably discriminatory - price differences between near-identical products and everyday services offered to women and men, . The clip, which was created by HLN's The Daily Share, illustrates the prevalence of this 'women's tax' to shocking affect by directly comparinga variety of different products and services aimed at men and women and then revealing the price differences. Even more disappointing is that this practice of 'invisible tax' is not only found almost everywhere, but it is entirely legal in almost every state in the US - even when the products or services are exactly the same for both genders. Scroll down for video . That price could use a shave: The Daily Share found that the differences between these razors of the same brand differed by more than a dollar between the men's and women's versions . Compounded with the fact that women make, on average, 78 cents on the dollar to men, the facts prove than gender bias is more than just offensive, it's also very expensive. For example, a Schick’s Hydro 5 men’s razor was picked up for $8.56, but the women's version - the Schick Hydro Silk - was, for some reason, given more than a one dollar mark-up, and was priced at $9.97. An even greater disparity was found in the perfume aisle, where Narciso Rodriguez Eau de Toilettes For Him and For Her respectively cost $87 and $106.60. Meanwhile, a pair of Neutrogena anti-aging creams with the exact same ingredients were also found to inexplicably cost women $1.07 more per ounce - despite the skincare brand admitting that the two products were essentially the exact same product encased in different packaging. One of the few equal prices found by the video's creators was, of course, on a unisex American Apparel shirt. But when a man and a woman each dropped off the exact same shirt to get dry-cleaned, the woman was charged an extra 75 cents - and the tag even labelled the laundered item as a 'Lady Shirt'. Something smells fishy: There is almost a ful 20 dollar difference between the his and hers versions of this brand of cologne . Seriously? The presenters claim that the exact same shirt dropped off at a dry cleaners cost more to clean when a woman brought it in . The two presenters do point out that conditions are getting slightly better; medical insurance used to cost women in America $1 billion more each year before ObamaCare outlawed the practice of gender-biased pricing discrimination. However, in terms of everyday gender-taxing across the country, a 1995 report found that 'gender tax' cost women approximately $1,351 annually - a number which doesn't show any signs of decreasing any time soon. And while the shocking statistics in the caused California to put a state-wide ban on the practice in 1996, with New York City also opting to impose a similar ban on gender pricing, the rest of the US continues to allow the practice. Even something as basic as long-term care insurance costs women 13 per cent more, a hike they apparently base on the fact that women have longer life-spans - in the same way that they raise rates on smokers. 'But people choose to smoke,' says the female presenter. 'I didn't choose to be a woman.'
The clip, which was created by The Daily Share, compares near-identical products for men and women and highlights the price differences.
According to the creators of the video, California is one of the few states to have put a ban on 'gender pricing discrimination'
