Disposable razors
Disposable razors can be taken in hand luggage and hold luggage. This is because they are ‘fixed-cartridge razor blades’, meaning the blades can’t be removed.
Disposable razors are designed to be discarded after a few uses.
Electric razors
Electric razors are electronically powered shaving devices that use rotating blades or oscillating foils to trim hair.
