Can you bring electric razors & shavers on a plane?
TSA's official answer, checked against tsa.gov on 2026-09-06.
Carry-on bag yes
Allowed. TSA lists electric razors as a plain yes for carry-on — unlike a classic safety razor, there is no exposed blade to remove, so the whole shaver goes through the checkpoint as it is.
Checked bag yes
Allowed in checked bags too.
A cordless shaver's built-in battery travels with the shaver either way. A *spare* lithium battery is the different question — those are carry-on only and never in checked bags.
Liquids, gels and aerosols in carry-on follow the TSA 3-1-1 rule. The final decision always rests with the TSA officer at the checkpoint.
