Can You Bring an Electric Shaver on a Plane?
Yes, you can bring an electric shaver on a plane—but there are a few important rules to follow depending on the type of shaver and how it’s powered.
✅ Electric Shaver on a Plane: What You Need to Know
1. Carry-On and Checked Baggage:
Electric shavers are generally allowed in both your carry-on and checked luggage. However, how you pack it depends on whether your shaver has a battery.
2. Shaver Type Matters:
-
Corded Shavers (No Battery):
These are safe to pack in either your carry-on or checked bag. Just make sure any fragile parts (like the blades or head) are well protected during travel. -
Battery-Powered Shavers:
These must go in your carry-on bag, especially if they use lithium-ion batteries—which most modern electric shavers do, including all Metz models.
✈️ Reminder: Lithium-ion batteries are not allowed in checked luggage due to fire risk.
🔋 Important Battery Tips
-
Make sure the battery is in good condition (not damaged or swollen).
-
Turn off the shaver before packing, and use a travel lock if available.
📏 Consider Size and Portability
Traveling light? Choose a compact and portable razor. The best travel shavers are:
-
Small and lightweight
-
Battery-operated
-
Durable and easy to pack
Example: Metz FirmStone Electric Shaver
Specifically designed for travel, it features a compact body and 9×2 self-sharpening dual-layer blades for a close, long-lasting shave—so you won’t need to shave as often during your trip.
❌ What You Can’t Bring in Carry-On
-
Loose razor blades (like those used in straight razors or safety razors) are not allowed in your carry-on.
-
However, you can pack them in your checked luggage.
Allowed in Carry-On:
-
Electric razors
-
Disposable razors
-
Razor cartridges (like those for Gillette or Schick systems)
Traveling with your electric shaver is easy—just pack smart and follow airline guidelines, and you'll be ready for a clean shave wherever your journey takes you.
