Can you bring a razor in a carry on?
According to TSA, you can bring disposable and electric razors in your carry on and checked bags. Just make sure you have it stored securely so it won’t injure anyone who’s handling or inspecting your bag. However, razor-type blades that are not in a cartridge and safety razors are not allowed in your carry on bag, only checked bags.

More Tips for Packing Toiletries for Travel
Save hotel bottles
Hotel amenity bottles are typically within the TSA 3.4 ounce rule. You can pack one of those or reuse the bottle with your own liquids.
Use bars
You are allowed soap bars in your carry on and check in bags so if you prefer using soap bars, pack one instead of limiting yourself to 3.4 ounces of body wash, shampoo, conditioner or face wash.
Get samples
Sometimes when you buy makeup, companies will include a sample or trial size of the same product or other products for you to try. Use those makeup trial size items when you travel.
