Disposable Shavers In Hand Luggage

[Ryan N]

Are disposable shavers allowed on board an aircraft as hand luggage or do they have to be carried as checked luggage? I've always wondered about this and don't want to carry an electric shaver on short trips.

Gotta be checked - razors are one of the main things they are looking for.

It actually depends whether it's a safety razor or not.

I've been carrying them in my carry on bag for the last 2 years and have never had a problem.

I keep my disposable razor in clear view in the plastic bag with the gels, liquids. It's never been questioned in any of my many flights in the last year.

I've had a Gillette razor (including the replacement cartridges) in my overnight bag as cary on for 3 years now and never once been stopped or questioned on it.

And yet the security naz1s confiscated a small shifter spanner last time I flew...this spanner was 5cm long and used for computer work but I was told it could be used as a weapon
Even though I said 'only if I want to attack a mouse' it was still taken.

Thanks guys. So I guess I will carry them and show it to the security officers. It's not too much of an inconvenience if they take it off me.
