Can You Take Shaving Razors On Plane Trips?


Can you bring shaving razors on plane trips?

Can you take shaving razors on plane trips when you travel or do you need to check them in your luggage?

The final decision of what you can bring onto a plane is up to the agent you speak with at the airport. While it’s best to check the local laws of the country you’re travelling in, sharp items like disposable razors should be kept in checked luggage and not a carry on bag to be safe. It’s also best to carry shaving cream in a tube or shaving soap in your checked luggage rather than bringing a bulkier pressurized shaving cream can which should also be avoided in carry on luggage. And if you are travelling with only a carry on, it makes even more sense.

Tips For Travelling With Shaving Equipment

  • While shaving razors on plane cabin carry on bags might be allowed by some jurisdictions, the agent you deal with at the airport might not allow it in your carry on bag.
  • Additionally, airports and specific airlines might further have their own rules over and above local laws that prohibit certain shaving products in carry on bags.
  • Some electric shavers come in a handy travel size which are smaller and more compact to travel with.
  • Consider bringing shaving cream in a tube or soap (bar form) when travelling rather than a pressurized can of shaving cream which needs to be in your checked bag.
  • Choose travel sized shaving cream products if you need to being a can.
  • If you are travelling with only carry on, make sure you know ahead of time what you can and can’t bring on board.
