Ryanair's hand baggage guidelines...

[Trotters]

Going to spain for a few days soon so Id prefer to take hand baggage only, obviously I need to take a razor of some kind, looking at Ryanair's prohibited items below how do you guys interpret it?. Am I going to have to leave my DE at home & take a Mach3???...

You can't fly with DE blades, anywhere, ever.

Bring a cart or disposables.

I think I would take my razor and plan on buying blades when there. There has to be some decent hardware in Spain, I would think.

But bring a cartridge or disposable razor just in case. The last time I traveled I could find no store open on a Sunday where I could purchase a DE blade!

Or I could put my baggage in the hold & wait 2 hours for my bag just for the sake of a good shave??? lol

Yip, really draconian laws regarding them. It is extremely silly but you just have to put up with it, either try and see if there are any shops that sell them near your hotelor just use the mach 3. Im from the UK but i never go on holiday outside the country and my work doesn't involve leaving it either so i don't have to put up with all the big brother nonsense imposed of passengers these days.

In no circumstances it is worth the grief to try and get through security carrying DE blades. If you are going to be staying in a hotel, you might be able to post a couple of blades to yourself at the hotel address but it is still a good idea to take a cartridge as a back-up.
I make regular business trips and take a brush, shave stick and a cartridge because I normally only have hand luggage with me.

Unlike the TSA, they don't explicitly mention throwing stars or nunchaku. Does that mean we have more ninjas in the US?

Ugh. Ryanair suck big time in every way possible. There is no way you'd be allowed take a blade on board and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they took a disposable off you too.

if you know where you're staying, mail a couple blades ahead by standard mail, assuming you've got time.
