I have been shaving exclusively with a traditional straight razor for a few months now, and greatly prefer it to my DE. I travel a fair amount and my standard practice is to mail a DE blade to my hotel sandwiched between two business cards taped together. A 3 piece safety razor is packed disassembled in a leather case that was designed to hold two fountain pens- happens to fit perfectly.

My theory has been that with the safety razor disassembled it doesn't look like a razor and I have never had problems with my carry on bag and the TSA. I would like to travel with a Shavette type razor but do not want to donate it to the TSA or have my bags searched every time I fly. I am not interested in checking bags either. Can anyone share their experiences?
