Can I Carry ARazor On Board？

Whether or not a razor can be carried on a plane depends on the type of razor and how it is used. Here are some key facts about razor carrying:

Manual razors: Usually, manual razors need to be checked in, because they contain blades, and the blade length is usually more than 6 cm. However, some airlines may have special rules that allow manual razors to be carried as hand luggage, but this is not common. Passengers are advised to check the relevant airline and airline security regulations before travelling to ensure that the manual shaver they carry meets the requirements. 123

Electric shavers: Electric shavers are divided into two cases:

Electric razors with lithium batteries: These types of razors usually need to be carried around, as their batteries must be rated below 160 watts. Lithium batteries should be placed in hand luggage and taken out separately for inspection during security checks. 124

Electric shavers using dry batteries: These shavers can be checked in, but cannot be carried in the cabin. Dry battery shavers should not be confused with lithium batteries, as they have different safety and transportation regulations. 4

Bladeless electric shaver: If a bladeless (such as rotary) electric shaver is used, and a lithium battery is used, it can theoretically be carried on the plane. This may be because the bladeless design reduces the level of risk, allowing such razors to be accepted as hand luggage.

To sum up, whether a razor can be carried on board the plane mainly depends on whether there is a blade and the type of battery used. Blade razors are not usually allowed on a carry-on, but they can be brought on board by checked cargo. The situation with electric shavers is more complicated and needs to be determined based on the specific battery type and the design of the shaver to determine whether it can be carried on the go. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is recommended to carefully read and follow the relevant airline regulations before traveling.
