I used to bring mine with me every trip. Obviously you won't have a problem if you always go through KCM but when I went into Canada and to smaller ajrport with no KCM they almost always made me throw away my blades. I know they are cheap but throwing away perfectly good feather blades is just wrong!

It's not just an issue of them throwing away your stuff...if they wanted to, they could throw the book at you for smuggling unauthorized potential weapons through security. You'd lose your SIDA over that.
Why do they usually just confiscate and let you go on your way? Common Sense? Kindness? TSA Internal Policy? Probably best not to hang your career on any of those hooks
Hypothetically, I might try to take a large toothpaste tube through KCM, but never anything which actually has weapon potential.

I fly through places like Middle East and Hong Kong....places where they may be less "understanding" and less likely just take it and send you on your way. I have a 7Series Braun foil shaver, I'll probably just stick with that on the road. Battery last about a full month, at least.
