Formatting and Grouping rows

I have a chart that looks like this

marissaanj_0-1654097116804.png

I would like the rows to be grouped so their are subcategories. For example, this chart

marissaanj_1-1654097168549.png

For this example, I would like all the rows with the key word 'razor' to be under one category, and 'other' in another category

 

It would result in something like this 

 

RAZORS                  26          27

Disposable razors   4             5

razor                      12          14 

razors                    10            8

OTHER                   3             3

shampoo                2             1

shave                      1             2

 

Help is greatly appreciated
