Common questions
Nothing — disposable and cartridge razors are permitted in carry-on universally. The blade is enclosed within the cartridge and cannot be easily accessed, so screeners treat them as routine toiletry items. They go through X-ray without any special handling and are never confiscated.
The distinction is the enclosed cartridge: the blade in a disposable or cartridge razor is fixed inside a protective casing that cannot be removed without tools, making it far less accessible as a weapon than an exposed blade. This is the same logic that distinguishes a safety razor head (permitted without a blade) from the blade itself (not permitted in carry-on).
No — disposable razors can stay in your toiletry bag or carry-on during X-ray screening. They are recognisable on X-ray and do not require separate presentation. If a screener does a secondary hand-check of your bag, they will handle the razor briefly but will not question it.
There is no limit on the number of disposable razors you can carry. Bring as many as you need for your trip without any concern. The only razor-related restriction in carry-on is for loose replacement blades and safety razor blades, which must travel in checked baggage — individual disposable razors are always unrestricted.
