Bringing a safety razor to work
Here's a question for those of you that shave with a DE safety razor:
I'm tired of the irritation and bad shave that I get with an electric razor. Considering switching to a safety blade. I believe TSA doesn't allow a loaded blade and/or spares in your carry-on luggage. Obviously not a problem with KCM, but what's everyone's experiences at non-KCM airports? Do they give you any trouble if you're in uniform? I particularly do international flying, and I'm also considering making the switch due to the cheap cost of the blade. However, that might be pointless if I have to hand over a $20 handle to Hong Kong security every month....

Also want to know how it is not a problem.
"Safety Razor With Blades (allowed without blade)"
is on the Prohibited Items list.
Per KCM website:
"Crewmembers are permitted to bring personal property through the KCM access points as long as it is not on the TSA’s Prohibited Items List (PIL) and the individuals have been approved by the KCM system and verified by a TSA Officer."

Same deal here with shaving. I use DE at home, and use an older two-blade cartridge on the road (I have to order the blades online, hard to find in drugstores).
DE is no-go at the airport, although if I'm going somewhere for more than a few days I'll take the razor and buy blades locally.
