Transportation Security Administration, TSA states that there is a lot of confusion about the type of razors you can pack in your carry-on luggage. Let’s find out which razors you can take as carry-on luggage and which you can pack in checked luggage.
Safety and Straight Razors: Safety and straight razor blades are easy to remove. You can take them as carry-on luggage without the blade. The blade should be sheathed or wrapped securely in checked luggage so it is not an injury risk for baggage handlers and inspectors.
Moreover, other items with removable razor blades, not in a cartridge are prohibited in carry-on luggage.
Disposable Razors: Disposable razors are allowed in carry-on luggage, including the handle and the cartridges. These razors come in two types; disposable and ones in which you replace the cartridges.
