What does the TSA prohibited items list mean about razor blades?

Question

http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm#4

Here's the list - now for razor blades it says NO on carry-on, unless it's "in a cartridge". My problem is that I'll ONLY be taking carry-on, as I'm only going for four days. I have a Shick Intuition razor - you know, the one with the blades encased in soap? - and it isn't going to do me any good without the blade! Am I going to be allowed to take the blade with me or not? Is my razor blade included in the prohibited category, or is it "in a cartridge," and therefore okay? I'm confused. Please help!

Answer 1

You should be able to buy a razor and blades where you are going.  It is only for 4 days.  

Answer 2

I believe these razor blades are encased in a cartridge...so you should be OK.  I would double check with the airline/TSA though.  

Answer 3

i'd call the airline
