Can you take DE blades on a flight as hand luggage?

[Dai Boy]

Does anyone know whether you can take DE blades on a flight as hand luggage? Obviously they will be in a box and still wrapped in waxed paper. I'm flying RyanAir.

I guess not, because it's easy to unwrap them. I think you can better ask at Ryan Air or the airport

No you can't.

No is the official answer. YMMV, but it probably won't.

I wouldn't chance it. Stick it in your checked luggage, use a cart, post ahead, or buy some when you get there.

A definite no irrespective if they are wrapped or not.

As suggested pack in any hold luggage and if no hold luggage look at buying at the other end. Otherwise you will have to seek an alternative way to shave or grow a beard.

It's a PITA I know, but EVERY time I have travelled with a DE in hand luggage (no blades), I've been pulled over at the X-ray machine and have to explain/show that there are no blades. On the other hand, I've made it through the check with a Schick injector, but wouldn't recommend it.

I've always flown with checked baggage but the day I don't it's going to be disposables.

Post them in advance to your destination

Fine in the baggage hold, a big no no trying to take on as hand luggage.

Every time I have flown with a DE razor in hand luggage; always no blades packed, I like buying blades locally, my bag has been emptied and searched - both on the outbound and the inbound.

Last time, at Berlin, one of the Security staff said to her colleague "what's that". Her colleague replied - an old fashioned razor, what real men shave with - gives very good shaves. Que a conversation on DE shaving. SWMBO was fizzing

Not allowed.

Oh, and some airports are known for their unfriendly security staff ... I certainly would not even try it there (speaking from personal experience with security staff at certain airports going wild about laptop locking cables).

Where are flying from if it as a Boots past the security you can order some DE blades and pick them up

Seriously? That's just nuts. So you get blades confiscated at security, but you can pick up replacements literally a few yards past the security station?

And don't forget they may check your baggage again on boarding and at the other end. At the likes of Schipol they do a baggage check just prior to boarding . I would just buy some at your destination and what remains leave behind. They do tend to be sold worldwide. Simply ain't worth the risk.

Totally correct and really not worth the risk of missing your flight or much worse
