The short answer is yes. Cartridge razors, where the cartridge can be detached from the handle and covered with a plastic head, are usually fine to take in your hand luggage on a plane. Disposable razors are also okay to take in your hand luggage, as long as they are in their packaging.
Electric razors and razors that have the blade set into a plastic moulding are permitted in carry-on baggage. Razor blades and razors that can be opened and the razor blade removed are permitted in checked baggage only.
Examples of what cannot be carried onto the plane include: Axes. Metal Cutlery. Razors.
Here's what you can't pack in your carry on: Liquids, gels, or pastes in bottles larger than 3.4 ounces (100 ml) Guns and ammunition (including BB guns and cap guns) Stun guns and tasers.
Containers larger than 100 millilitres or 100 grams, even if only partially-filled, containing liquids, aerosols or gels will not be allowed through the security screening point. For example, a 200 gram toothpaste tube that is half-full will not be permitted.
You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in your carry-on bag and through the checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item.
All liquids, aerosols and gel items must be in containers of 100 millilitres or 100 grams or less. Containers must fit into one transparent and re-sealable plastic bag, like a snap-lock bag. The four sides of the bag's sealed area must add up to no more than 80 centimetres (eg. 20 x 20cm or 15 x25cm).
Can you bring scissors on a plane in a carry-on bag? Yes, you can take small scissors through the security checkpoint in hand luggage, provided the blades are 4 inches or less from the pivot point to the tip.
Pointed metal nail files are also allowed when flying in or out of Australia. However, pointed metal scissors, including manicure scissors and scissors with blades more than 6cm long, are prohibited in your carry-on.
Any sharp objects in checked baggage should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors.
This includes box cutters and razor blades not in a cartridge. A straight razor may provide an excellent shave, but it's basically a knife, so if you must bring it, check your bags. If you don't, for obvious reasons TSA will very likely confiscate your straight razor at the first security checkpoint you go through.
Nail clippers, nail-trimming scissors and cuticle cutters are totally fine in your carry-on bag.
Luckily, most airport security agencies are happy for travellers to take a safety razor in their hand luggage or suitcase - just as long as you remove the blade.
Each passenger is limited to one quart-size bag of liquids, gels and aerosols. Common travel items that must comply with the 3-1-1 liquids rule include toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash and lotion.
Carry-on Baggage Screening
You will be asked to remove personal electronic devices larger than a cell phone from your carry-on bag and place them into a bin with nothing placed on or under them for X-ray screening. Common examples of these devices include laptops, tablets, e-readers and handheld game consoles.
Don't forget, lip gloss and mascara count as liquids!
Checked Bags: Yes
If packed in carry-on, they must be less than 4 inches from the pivot point. Any sharp objects in checked bags should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors. For more prohibited items, please go to the 'What Can I Bring?' page.
A safety razor is a shaving implement with a protective device positioned between the edge of the blade and the skin to reduce the level of skill needed for injury-free shaving.
And remember: There are some items you can't carry on board; for eg, tweezers, nail scissors, corkscrews. Make sure you're well aware of the prohibited items list opens in new window, and that you can do without these things on your trip.
all drinks, including water. liquid or semi-liquid foods, for example soup, jam, honey and syrups. cosmetics and toiletries, including creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, mascara and lip gloss. sprays, including shaving foam, hairspray and spray deodorants.
The Department for Transport defines liquids as “including creams, lotions, oils, perfume, mascara and lip gloss”. The Civil Aviation Authority confirmed this for us, advising that they would “recommend putting cream-based makeup products in the plastic bag provided for liquids.”
