I travel excessively for work, and for the past 6 months or so have always brought along one of my DE razors loaded with a blade (I usually don't bring extras for my normal 3 day trips) and I have never had a problem until today.
The most interesting sight was to see the local TSA agent figure out how to take a part and old Gillette 3-piece in order to get the blade out.
I looked up the TSA rules and it does say that razors "not in a cartridge" are prohibited - however it does state that "Safety razors are excluded" from that rule. Since they do not specifically define "safety razors", I am not sure if DE's are included in that exclusion.
In any case - what have other members experience been with traveling with DE razor blades?
