Toiletries in hand bag while travelling
So far i have been travelling with checked in luggage but now i am planning to avoid it and travel with just hand baggage. I generally carry Toiletries like Shampoo, shaving cream, toothpaste [all packs are less than 100ml or gm] and also shaving razor [Gillette Mach 3] and a scissor. Will all this stuff be allowed in hand luggage ?
Best Answer
The answer will vary, depending upon where you're boarding and where you're going.
In the US, or flying to the US, TSA has this to say about carry-on liquids:
You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in your carry-on bag and through the checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. Placing these items in the small bag and separating from your carry-on baggage facilitates the screening process. Pack items that are in containers larger than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters in checked baggage.
Any liquid, aerosol, gel, cream or paste that alarms during screening will require additional screening.
As to shaving razors, the same page says:
Disposable Razor
Carry On Bags: Yes
Checked Bags: Yes
Any sharp objects in checked bags should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors.
I've carried disposable razors (one or two at a time) in my bathroom kit within my carry-on daypack, for years without difficulty or questions.
Note that in all cases, the TSA page warns:
The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.

Typically, travelers put their toiletries in the bag such as shampoo, hair products, make-up and toothpaste. Individuals who want to pack their large bottle of shampoo or full-size toothpaste should pack those items in their checked bags. Sometimes individuals want to travel with food items. That's just fine TSA.What is not allowed in a carry on bag?
Firearms, ammunition, and fireworks are prohibited, as are all knives and safety razors (including pocket knives and Swiss Army knives). Straight razors and replacement blades for straight razors are also not allowed. Most tools also cannot be packed in carry-on luggage, as they have the potential to cause harm.TSA 3-1-1 LIQUID \u0026 POWDER RULE FOR CARRY ON BAG | Everything you need to know from a Travel Agent
