Can I pack a razor in a carry-on on planes leaving Toronto Pearson airport?
Can I? Never carried a razor before. The women's Gillete safety razor? Now, I'm pretty sure the TSA are good with it but I read on the Transport Canada site which was updated on 2011 that razors aren't allowed?
By the way, are Europeans okay with razors in general?
