miched Posted August 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2022 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 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DCPIV Posted August 10, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2022 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.

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 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted August 10, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2022 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. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den 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. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny01 Posted August 10, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 10, 2022 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. den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you just use a safety razor for your cruise? Also the airlines would require it to be in checked luggage I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Wildcat Posted August 10, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 10, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
