Thread: Flying & Straight Razors

Can you take your straight razor on airplane trips, if you pack it in your bags. Obviously you can't carry it on but the question can you pack your shaving stuff in your bags?

No you can not take it in you carry-on

yes you can take it in your checked baggage. Make sure you you pack it well so it doesn't break Also if you have scales made of ivory or other banned material make sure you have paperwork and/or it meets the laws of the area your visiting.

Do a search for traveling kit in this forum to find some neat ideas on how to pack a travel shaving kit.

hope this helped

Don't take good razors when you travel. Things have a habit of turning up missing in checked baggage at times. When I say good I mean expensive.

I think that is great advice, however, I'm a newbe and nothing I have is valuable. I wish I had some really good razors but only a few old (Unsharp) E-Bay specials and a couple I pickup up at the local Flea Maket.

When I fly I pack them in checked baggage and I take the crappy looking one with the great edge!

Thanks for that! I'm travelling soon and wasn't sure.

Yeah and as far as safety razors go you can have the razor itself in a carry-on but not the blades - those go to the checked luggage.

I was thinking about putting together a DE shaving travelling kit (i travel for work a lot and usually only have a carry-on) and looked it all up. Was a no go for me, unfortunately :-(
