Toss your metal clipper in the bin before you go through security and buy a new one when you get to your destination.
But frankly, I doubt a clipper-banning country exists. It is more likely that this is just a marketing gimmick to sell overpriced clippers to gullible travelers at airport kiosks.
A quick scan of the net shows this set selling for a shocking
$24 US dollars including shipping. I call that a ripoff. There is no valid reason for this product to even exist.
