Decided to mature a little bit and buy a safety razor. Can't beat the shave, or the price. Just curious if flight crews are allowed safety razors through NPS? My original thought is a resounding no, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

I flew with them for 2 years before someone took them away recently.

Forget about it. If you ever get through London, uk security screening just give me a show. even as a flight crew member.
Worse case scenario they'll take your blades. the fear on their face when you give the blade is really worth it.

Haha, no doubt! I figured as much.

My understanding is that non cartridge type razor blades are prohibited. But if you try and they take a blade away who cares... 10¢...

All razor bladed are forbidden in Cuba, even disposable safety razors. There's always going to be somewhere that has a problem with anything.

Just pack a disposable as backup. Then if they take it is isn't a big deal.
They don't always see the safety razor in my bag, so I imagine you could get through in most cases.

If it fits in the allowed category, carry a printed copy of it with you, I don't believe they're allowed discretion on allowed items.
Edited because I realized we don't live in the Canadian bubble but I imagine wherever you're flying should have a site you can checked on allowed items.

They took mine away as well today. Had been travelling with it for a while now.
