A good travel routine starts before you zip your bag. Use this carry-on grooming checklist to pack your essentials, keep toiletries organized, and leave room for the rest of your trip.
Build your kit from the RAZOR MD Travel collection, then use the checklist below before departure.
Your carry-on grooming checklist
- Check your toiletry containers. Under TSA’s standard liquids, aerosols, and gels rule, each container must be 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less. This includes creams and pastes, so check shave cream, lotion, toothpaste, and other toiletries too. Check the container size, not just how much product remains.
- Pack one quart-size bag. Fit your liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes into one clear, quart-size, zip-top bag. TSA limits each passenger to one bag under the standard rule.
- Choose a compact shave brush. The CR21 Travel Shave Brush - 3 piece is a three-piece badger-hair brush designed for travel or home use. Add it to your grooming pouch and allow it to dry before packing after use.
- Organize your grooming tools. The Well Mannered Groom Kit - 6-piece combines an interchangeable handle with razor and toothbrush attachments. Check current TSA guidance for the specific razor and attachments you plan to carry; a travel kit name is not a security approval.
- Keep your routine familiar. Pack the essentials you actually use rather than adding a different product for every possible scenario. Verify the size of each liquid or cream separately, including anything you add to a kit.
- Do a final rules check. Verify TSA’s current liquids, aerosols, and gels guidance and its What Can I Bring? tool before departure. Rules can change. Check the requirements for other airports and countries on your itinerary as well.
