SOTD: Saturday 22nd - Friday 28th December 2018.

I have accidentally carried on a DE with a blade loaded and yet I've had to sacrifice a deodorant stick due to liquid capacity on the same flight.
I think 99% of the security don't know a blade and a razor are separate articles.
I have been there with the liquids issue, I had to have a rescan due to a solid deodorant stick that was not in separate liquids bag, they took it out of my carry on bag and rescanned it and my bag again. Then gave me it back! No wonder some security checks take so long. Now I put my solid deodorant and my shave stick etc. in the liquids bag just in case......I know they are only doing their job, and knowing how stressful flying and travel can be sometimes it must be a challenging job at times.

It was explained to me at the time a solid deodorant stick is a liquid so I gave it and toothpaste up rather than other liquids.
Imagine my surprise when I got to my destination and realised my DE had a blade in it.
I wouldn't do their job, so fair play to them.

Another day and another Christmas soap, and a very good one it is too.
And it's another off-the-shelf soap that can live with the Artisans imo.
Happy Shaving one and all.
