Traveling w/ a Mach3 Razor
Does anyone have a good idea on how to travel w/ one of these? I have never seen a razor case that a Mach3 can fit in?
I thought it was just me until I found out other doodes had the same problem as well!

Due to the shape of the Mach3 when you take it apart, it still doesn't fit in normal travel "things" for razors.
I have found that if I just travel with it in the case leaving the blades exposed that they get bent and beat up.
Surely, I can't be the only one with this problem!

Hey Chex ol buddy....I use the same razor and have a simple solution that has worked flawlessly for me on hundreds of trips. Shake the razor head dry and wrap a tissue around it.

It's unbelieveable what people will do to save some space. I just throw the handle and the plastic case that holds 4 blades in my toiletry bag. I travel every week and always carry on my luggage. I've never been stopped by a TSA b/c of my razor (once b/c of the shaving cream can though).

Ditto for me. Mikesilv, how do you get 2 weeks out of a blade??? If I push it, I get a week and a half and the top lube strip is like totally gone!
