My ToTD is a paragraph from an article on manly shaving:
Modern aftershaves tend to be soothing lotions filled with healing and moisturizing botanicals, such as aloe vera, and leave modern men smelling like an expensive salad. No, these are the aftershaves that are meant as astringents and antiseptics, as though shaving was field surgery. They burn going on, an experience the manufactures cover with tougher-sounding buzzwords, such as “bracing†and “invigorating.â€Â

Fuck yes. You want some aftershave? Here's some Bay Rum. What's in it? Rum. Some bay leaves, with some cloves and cinnamon. That's it. You cut yourself? Styptic pencil and toilet paper. How many blades are in my razor? One. And it's five inches long, by half an inch wide.
I know, I'm just being an ass. I mostly use an old-style Mukur Safety razor, with Wilkinson Sword blades, simply because it's often faster and easier. But, if I have time/the ability to(I'm really, really not going to hold a razor sharp, unprotected blade to my throat when I'm half asleep), or if I'm going out to see someone, or something along those lines, then I'll bust out the straight razor, because it's a damn fine shave.

I need to flame sterilize my Merkur Safety razor. I haven't used it since the Sink Algae incident. I'm also considering adding a Dovo cutthroat to my Christmas list.
Hah. I wonder what travel restrictions on a cutthroat are.

By Air? Only in your checked baggage, obviously, but other than that, you're pretty fine, I'd suspect. Going into another country, you'd want to declare it on your customs forms, but that's about it.
Is it considered a weapon? I wouldn't be gifting it.
It shouldn't be, BUT, if customs finds it in your stuff - not unlikely - they will probably give you shit about it, and possibly confiscate it and give you a small fine - better to declare it and not risk any trouble, because if you declare it, they'll likely let it through, especially if you pack it in a bag of toiletries, and you have the accompanying stuff, such as a strop and shaving soap in there - because you clearly don't intend to use it as a weapon against anything but your facial hair, and possibly your pubic hair if you're a braver man than I.
