Are Straight Razors Allowed

[miched]

I had been using a electric razor for years since I was a teen because a razor would cut off the zits causing me to bleed.   It finally got to the point of the expense and cost of the blades and foils I that switched to a safety razor and really got into the art of shaving.  Also being older I no longer have those zits.    I use a bowl,  brush and shaving soap.   It is pleasant experience and recently became a hobby trying different brushes, blades, soaps and etc.   Out of curiosity I tried a straight razor.   I love it.   It is the only way to shave.   That is my question.   Do they allow straight razors or consider them a weapon?  

Thanks

I can't bring my pocket knife, so I can't imagine that a straight would be acceptable. 

 

Shaving brushes are just fine, of course, and the room attendants seem to know how to respect them. I ditched the bowl and switched to face lathering years ago, though.

I use that also.   Sometimes I feel like a nut and other times I don’t.  🤗.  It is the hobby of the fine art of shaving.  I am thinking when traveling to use face lathering.    Less to carry.   Do you take a stand for your brush and razor?    I am thinking that I should just take my safety razor and brush.   
 

Thanks for the input

Here is the related Prohibited info:

 

• Sharp Objects, including all knives and scissors. (Note: Personal grooming items such as safety razors are allowed. Scissors with blade length less than 4 inches are allowed.)

 

I also use a mug and brush. Dont bring a mug but the soap in its tin container and I use a normal shaver. I shave in the shower; bring a small mirror and suction cup and my brush and soap container and I use the Dollar Shave Club razors.

I don’t shave in the shower because I wear glasses and use the wash bowl to rinse off the blade.  After showing or whenever I apply a wash cloth that was rinsed in hot water to soften my facial hair.  \\]

 

You need to look at Rockwell, Henson, and  Merkur razors,  all great razors,  plus there are many doubled edged blades available for 100 at $10.   These are all a lot better than those multi blade shavers and a lot cheaper.   And as I said the straight razor isn’t that hard to use and gives a great  shave.   Look at UTube videos.   

It has became for me the  art and hobby of shaving instead of being a chore.

That's all I bring. No stand. Cruise ship bathrooms don't always accommodate stands, and it's just more stuff than I need for the trip (and more than I care to shuffle around.

My first thought when I read the thread title...

 

... only when the stabilizers are deployed! 😆

Thanks for the reminder of safety razors @miched, I haven’t used one in many years. But I think it would be handier than one of these multi-blades which have such a wide ‘face’. Going to try one. 
 

love the brush and soap. Nothing like a warm lather.

Thanks.  I have found it is better to take as little as possible.

Why take the chance of getting it confiscated if you value it?  Can't you just use a safety razor for your cruise?  Also the airlines would require it to be in checked luggage I think.

I honestly thought the same, and also not after a trip to the Martini Bar!

A straight razor if under 4" in length would be allowed.  Think most are longer.  I use a pocket knife with a 2 1/2" blade to cut tubing for wife's nebulizer.  It has always been ok.  Goes in checked luggage on airlines.
