What razors are allowed on airplanes? – This is a question I get asked all the time. It can be confusing to figure out what you can and can not bring onboard a plane in your carry-on bag with all the different rules. Keep in mind that many rules can be different for each airline, but most airlines follow TSA’s airport security guidelines.
If you need more razor blade refills for your Gillette, these are my favorites. They are very cost-effective and cut perfectly every time.
Can you bring a razor on a plane in your carry-on?
Yes, you can bring a razor onboard a plane. But not every type of razor is allowed. For example, a disposable razor or one that has replaceable cartridges is allowed, but a razor blade either alone or in a holder like a box cutter or utility knife is prohibited.
You can also bring safety razors on board without the blade attached. The device will generally be allowed as long as the razor blade is not installed. Box cutters are a good example of these types of razors. And they can all be packed in your checked luggage without any issues.
Keep in mind the final decision on whether or not an item is allowed on board rests with the TSA security agents at the airport security. Always make sure your carry-on items are packed properly and made available for inspection as you go through the security checkpoints. They have the right to confiscate any item they feel necessary.
