For those wanting to know if they can bring shaving razors when they’re about to travel by air, the short answer is “Yes,” but with certain restrictions and conditions.Facial, Leg,
In this post, I will cover everything you need to know about flying with razors, including what types you can bring in your carry-on and checked baggage and any restrictions that may apply.
In fact, the information I’m presenting here is based on guidelines from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). It’s the agency that has authority over the security of the traveling public in the United States, and its rules apply whether you’re flying from or within the U.S.
What TSA said about travelling with Razor on a plane ?
PS : We had the answer from official TSA website :
Can I bring razors in carry-on baggage?
According to TSA guidelines, disposable razors can be included in carry-on bags. Electric razors are also allowed. However, razor-type blades are only permitted in carry-on bags if they are safely installed in a cartridge.
Loose razor blades and safety razors are not permitted unless the blade is removed.
Can I bring razors in checked baggage?
You can pack disposable, electric, and safety razors in checked baggage. This also includes razor-type blades as long as they are securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors.
Can I carry razor related items on a plane?
Items | Carry-on Baggage | Checked Baggage |
---|---|---|
Disposable Razors | Allowed | Allowed |
Electric Razors | Allowed | Allowed |
Razor-type Blades (in cartridge) | Allowed | Allowed |
Loose Razor Blades | Not Allowed | Allowed |
Safety Razors (without blade) | Allowed | Allowed |
Safety Razors (with blade) | Not Allowed | Allowed |
Shaving Cream or Gel (under 3.4 ounces/100 ml) | Allowed | Allowed |
TSA doesn’t explicitly mention facial or travel razors with blades, so it’s wise to check their latest guidelines. Eyebrow razors tend to be treated like disposable razors and are usually allowed in carry-on.
