DE shaving & hand luggage

[neilda]

How do you chaps manage when travelling with hand luggage only?

If going to New York (for example) for a couple of days, you can't take blades with you as they are specifically banned from hand luggage. Blades can't be found easily in pharmacies at your destination.

Mach 3 time?

I have a Gillette Guard (P&G's attempt to wean the Indian market off DE) for my "away days"... totally beige/inoffensive/unmemorable shave but single blade and doesn't clog at all.

A Mach3 and a cartridge per week. It won't kill you. Cartridge blades are still kosha, as far as I'm aware. Not had an issue so far but, if I did, there can't be many places in the world that haven't been saturated by Gillette enough to easily find replacements.

I just use a Gillette disposable when travelling with hand luggage. It is rare that I fly for short trips though so usually end up with luggage in the hold.

Hurrumph! Suppose you're right.... I just feel rather grumpy that I can't take my favourite razor.

Just take a hold suitcase full of your shaving tackle. Job sorted. ;-)

Bic 2 isn't bad, cheap too. Take time off from the usual routine and enjoy the change.

Hold baggage. Sorts out your liquids problems as well
