Well-known within haircare circles, Wahl is an American brand that has been operating for over 100 years, with its current line-up covering traditional hair clippers, personal grooming kits and even animal grooming products. Its electric shaver range is built for the traveller or space-conscious user, with models labelled as compact for easy use and storage. The Wahl Compact Shaver features a waterproof design, 3-cut system to help you get a smooth shave, with two-blades and a foil working to get the shave you want. Powered by two AA batteries, it also comes with a guard and travel pack to help you take it with you.
You can generally take electric shavers on a plane in either your carry-on luggage or in the checked baggage, with most domestic and international airlines having no issues with the appliance. However, you may run into issues if it contains a large battery, so it’s best to look into what battery type your electric shaver uses, as well as double-checking with the airline you’re flying before packing your shaver into luggage.
