    Default Travelling Abroad

    Now, at the end of August I will be leaving the UK for two years and working abroad in Singapore.

    I am interested in how you transport razors when travelling abroad. I appreciate there have been other threads on this matter before, and the Alembic sounds the clear winner. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a stock of Alembic anywhere for love nor money.

    Do people know of a stockist? Do people have any alternative suggestions for me to safely transport my razors when I move house and country?

    Not sure what Alembi is, but I just use a sturdy plastic lunchbox-type container with a clip on lid. Wrap the razors in a t-shirt, put them in the box. Congratulations on the job, Singapore is one of my favourite places. What sort of work do you have there, if you don't mind me asking?

    As with howdydave - I use the same razor sheath. I use one for storage at home and one - often only half full - for weekly trips.
    Lightweight, protective and not at all bulky.

    For security reasons, you will obviously not be allowed to keep the razors in your carry-on luggage.

    That being the case, you want to transport your razors in the most compact manner that you can.
    IMO: That would be a roll-up.
    Realization of the vastness of ones own ignorance is the first step on the path to true wisdom.
