All,
I'm currently at the airport waiting to board my flight (of course here too early....gotta arrive 2 hours before the flight ya' know @c3). Anyway, going thru the gestapo check in procedures, and my carry on bag brought the attention of the SS because of my friggin' shaving gel container (Gillette Edge).....G*D DAMN SHAVING CREAM @c3
I was upset because I planned on hijacking the plane with my 1/2 empty can of shaving gel (oh wait, did I say that too loud?). :/O
So, there's another thing to consider when choosing your shaving gel or cream....the container. I usually mix HeadSlick with Bald Guyz Shave Gel (glad both come in plastic containers).
Have a great Wednesday.

See, you stray from the bald head products and look what happens ..... ;)
Plus the way the gel shoots from the can can be used like a weapon ... I said can can :D
-
I understand your pain schro. And even staying with the bald products doesn't work. I had to discard my little bottle of HeadClear went I flew down to visit Paulie Burke. It was good that there was very little in it. They even made me throw out the tiny tube of toothpaste I purposely purchased for the flight because IT was too big.
I don't blame the airport personnel, just the idiot terrorists who put us in this situation.
-
Security is a pain in the ass, but a necessary one
-
I'll be buying the small bottles of HeadSlick and just refill it. I may let the hair grow back (or at least what's left of it), but the combo of HeadSlick and Bald Guyz Shave Gel is the best for me.

i had to throw away my KY once...lol
-
Shro,
Just take Timmayyy on your trips, he can hide it on his persons where it won't be found ;D $@y
-
Thats not true though champ. I had some metal rings that i had to take off once too...
-
I have often wondered if guys withmetal plates from the war have to get a concealed weapons permit for the airport ???
Just messin with ya Timmj.... I remember when I got divorced I had to practically cut my wedding band off... couldn't remove it fast enough!!
-
i thought you were not going to shave your head anyways.did you change your mind???
-
You can carry shaving gel and other liquids if you put it in with your checked luggage. I had to quickly transfer mine from my carry-on bag when I was checking in for a flight in October.
-
I thought the rule was that it had to be 3oz container or less, not the amount in a larger container and that they all had to fit in a one quart plastic bag that I can live w/. What is the rule about razors, I'm sure they don't let a straight edge on, but what about my trusty Fusion, does that have to go in checked bags--I've been checking my bag for that reason. Recently I could have avoided a delay if I had carried on, but the razor gave me pause. I don't want to rely on throw aways supplied by the hotel and a new Fusion each trip and the hassel of buying one puts me off.
-
When we traveled in Oct overseas, you were allowed to now have scissors as long as they were small ones. My wife took some to work on here projects and I had razors in my carry on. Although they wouldnt allow me to take a Haitian broom back with me as a carryon because of the handle. They said I could have used that as a weapon??? I walked into the gift shop area of the airport in Port da Prince and was able to buy a 4 foot long walking stick and carry it on the plane. What gives???? The walking stick was more of a threat than the damn broom. LOL

Security has got a bit silly, I apriciate that it needed etc but recently I took my 16 year old brother to Thorpe Park (Theme park) and we both got searched before we where aloud in.......at a theme park......shows the state of our 'Broken Britain'!!

I had asked the HBG at Bald Guyz if they were planning on any travel size containers and he said in time. The small travel containers from HB work great for carry on btw.
-
As a flyer with over 3 million miles, here is the deal on container size. The limit is 3 oz. Doesn't matter if you have a 6 oz container and it is 1/4 full. I fht ecapacity is not 3 oz or less it goes in checked baggage only. As for razors, they are ok, but not a strait edge. All liquids, gels, paste, cosmetics, etc. must fit into a quart plastic bag, no more.
BG will be introducing travel sizes in '09!!

hmm, I will have to visit my parents in 2 weeks time and I will go by train. It will suck really bad
if I cannot bring my bald guys products. If it ends up being that I can't bring them then I will not visit
my parents.

Call the train station and ask. I am sure you can work something out to keep smooth.
Parents are more important!!

I had my Headslick, toothpaste, mouthwash and contact lens solution in a clear zip-lock bag. I had more than 3 oz of everything, but I had it in with the bag I checked. Nobody examined my bags, so I had no problems. Security may be more vigilant around the holidays, but I'd take a chance on it. The worst thing that can happen is that they'll take the stuff away from you.

Yeah I will do that tomorrow. I love my parents so I want to see them. It's the first time that I have been away
from them for 4 consecutive months.

If they take away my Bald Guys shave Gel or shampoo I will start :x!

If you travel frequently, you will, after a while, accumulate a secondary travel bag that is full of everything travel size.
If you are an infrequent flyer, certain stores (like Bed, Bath, & Beyond) sell little packages that come with the right size zipper bag, and appropriate size containers of all the essentials. Pricey, but takes out the guess work.
I also like to empty out hotel shampoo bottles and refill with my own stuff that doesn't come in travel size, ie proraso, witch hazel, etc. Much better than having to deal with crap that you normally wouldn't use just so it can go in your carry on.
-
Well if things are that bad , couldnt you just fedx or ups the items the day before you leave and hopefully the will be there before you ?(by train) sometimes your checked bags take the secinic route and show up just before you leave to go back home ! just a idea !

You really have the same security-checks on railway-stations as on airports?
J
-
Yes, any form of transportation like that has security checks.
-
When I went to NYC this summer I was real surprised that there were no security checks on the train from Long Island to Penn Station. You'd think anything coming in or going out of Manhattan would have check points, but nope, nothin'.
