Thread: Travel Question

or maybe a large prescription type pill bottle with a few holes punched for...

I was just at my pharmacy picking up some things and I asked the pharmicist if he had a bottle that would fit my brush (I brought it with me...) and he gave me a presciption bottle that fits it pretty well. It's a little tall, but not bad for a freebe.

Unless I'm going to check a bag I usually travel with a DE. I take the blades out of the razor and stick a pack in my bag and see what happens, so far I've only had blades confiscated a couple dozen times. Just be on the safe side I always have a few Bic Metals with me. When I do check a bag I take a razor, a paddle strop, and my usual stuff, that's not very often though I've found I can live out of an Air Boss for quite a while.

I keep it minimal when I travel. I use the leather cases my TI's came in and take two stainless straights with me. I use shave cream in tubes and after shave in plastic bottles. I have a paddle strop with two sides I use. I fit everything in my suitcase no special kit or anything.

This might seem a little silly, but what razors can you actually travel on a plane with? Personally, I despise checking luggage which should severely limit what shaving equipment I can take with me.

I'm certain you can't take a str8 on a plane. Anyone ever take a DE?

As far as I understand US travel policy, you can travel with a straight razor if it's in your checked (and not carry-on) baggage. But I could be quite wrong

The razor itself will cause no problems, the blades are another matter, depends on who your screener is, sometimes they get through, other times they won't.

You are correct. You cannot bring safety razor blades or straight razors on board with carry-on luggage. If you do and the screener is doing their job They will be taken on the spot.

You can carry both the aforementioned items in checked luggage only.

People do put razor blades in their carry on and frequently they get passed security. I usually check one back on for trips that exceed 4 days and in that case I put all my items in the checked bag. I do carry a safety razor in my carry-on with no blades and it's not a problem.

I'm traveling to Texas on Thanksgiving day. I'm already planning ahead, since I am only taking one bag, and it will be carry on. Bic Metals, Kiss My Face shaving cream in a tube. Nothing else. I'm going to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. I plan to have a good time, and don't want ANYTHING to spoil it. I'll be there for 6 days, and during this time, shaving will be on the back burner. I'll take what I can get. Having said that, I plan on taking advantage of some of the great places to buy shaving products in Dallas!
