Which Wet Razors Are Allowed in Hand Luggage

Do you want to shave properly during a business trip or vacation and plan to carry a disposable razor in your hand luggage because you haven't booked large baggage? This is generally possible. However, there are differences between airlines.

Carrying a razor in hand luggage with Ryanair is allowed. Even razor blades in hand luggage are permitted with Ryanair, but only if they have a plastic frame. If the razor blades do not have a plastic frame, you must carry them in your checked baggage.

A similar rule applies with Lufthansa. Here too, the razor blade must have a plastic frame. Thus, you can also store your razor in hand luggage with Lufthansa.

You can take the razor in hand luggage with Eurowings. If you fly with Eurowings, razor blades are prohibited in hand luggage. You can take razors and handles but must remove the razor blades beforehand.

While there may be differences between airlines, generally

  • wet razors and
  • disposable razors with embedded blades

are allowed for wet shaving in hand luggage.

Can I Take an Electric Razor in Hand Luggage?

Is it possible to take an electric razor in hand luggage? In fact, the electric razor can be easily taken in hand luggage.

Allowed are

  • Shavers for beard and hair
  • Women’s electric razors in hand luggage
  • Dry shavers
  • Epilators
  • Trimmers

If you take the shaver in hand luggage, make sure it is fully charged. The security staff may test the device’s functionality.

If the shaver is empty and cannot be tested, the electric razor may be prohibited in hand luggage. Batteries and power banks can also be taken in hand luggage.

Expert Tip: This applies not only to electric razors on planes but to all electronic devices. The reason is that possibly tampered devices cannot board the plane.

Other Beard Care Products for Hand Luggage
