Yes, an electric shaver can fly in your carry-on; keep it clean, capped, and ready to show if a screener asks. You’re trying to get through the checkpoint without the awkward bag search, the line stalling, or the “what is this?” moment. An electric shaver is one of the easiest grooming items to travel with,
