Shaving routine while traveling

Gents, can you recommend a good razor that does not need to be checked when you fly? Thanks in advance.

If you’re trying to get a DE through security, you may as well hang it up. In my experience they’ll catch you about 80% of the time. My personal favorite for travel is the old Gillette Sensor. You can get new handles on Amazon or you can get the totally cool looking old ones on eBay. If I must shave with a cart, despite my best efforts, it’s the Gillette Sensor.

Thanks! I’m looking for something that does not need to be checked. I guess that would have to be a cartridge razor?

Can a SE get through?  Eg, a OneBlade or an Artist Club like a Vector?  Might they appear to an X-ray scanner to look like a cartridge?  Or, maybe, an injector?

That’s a good question Lesser 

It looks like SE’s are a grey area but my guess is the AC blades would be need to be checked. But I’m not certain. 

Here are the rules:

• [b]Safety Razors:[/b] Because the razor blades are so easy to remove, safety razors are not permitted in your carry-on luggage with the blade. They’re fine to pack in your carry-on without the blade. The blades must be stored in your checked luggage. The same applies for straight razors.
  
  
• [b]Disposable Razors:[/b] Disposable razors come in two types. The kind that is completely disposable (handle and all), or the kind where you replace them with cartridges. These are permissible in carry-on luggage with the blade and replacement cartridges.
  
  
• [b]Electric Razors:[/b] Electric razors are permitted in both checked and carry-on bags.                                           
  

Gillette Guard is my choice. Single blade disposable cartridge.

This sounds like a great recommendation - thanks

Lipripper660 is this a razor you would do a typical 3 pass shave with? Thanks

I didn't realize the cartridge razors can be carried on. 
     I've not used a Guard but have always heard good things about them.

They definitely can. I HATE checking luggage and have carried cartridge razors on for years for both domestic and international travel with no issues.
