8 TSA-Approved Items That Still Surprise Seasoned Travelers

5. Disposable and Electric Razors (Not Straight Razors, Though)

The razor rules are confusing enough that even frequent flyers get it wrong. Electric razors? Absolutely fine. Disposable safety razors with the blade enclosed in plastic? No problem. But try bringing a straight razor or safety razor with removable blades, and you'll be making a donation to TSA's confiscation bin. The distinction lies in whether the blade is fully exposed and easily weaponized. Interestingly, this means your cartridge razor and electric trimmer sail through while vintage shaving enthusiasts must check their gear. The moral: modern grooming tech wins. Pack accordingly, and you'll arrive at your destination clean-shaven and compliant.
