Disposable Razors: Disposable razors come in two types. The kind that is completely disposable (handle and all), or the kind where you replace them with cartridges. These are permissible in carry-on luggage with the blade and replacement cartridges.

In 2026, packing a disposable razor is remarkably simple because they are permitted in both carry-on and checked luggage. Since the blades are "fixed" or "cartridge-based" and cannot be easily removed to be used as a weapon, they are not considered prohibited items by the TSA or EASA. To pack them safely and maintain hygiene, you should keep the plastic protective cap on the head of the razor to prevent the blades from dulling or snagging on other items in your toiletry bag. If you have lost the cap, wrapping the head in a small piece of cardboard and a rubber band works effectively. In 2026, it is best to place your razors in a clear, mesh, or waterproof toiletry bag rather than loose in your suitcase; this ensures that if a security agent needs to inspect your bag, they won't accidentally cut themselves reaching inside. Note that "safety razors" (where the blade is a separate metal sheet) and "straight razors" are still strictly prohibited in carry-on bags and must be checked.
