This is my first time flying with hand luggage. I was reading a bit about safety and such and I wonder what kind of safety razor am i allowed to take with me? I have this Gillette fusion razor, is it ok for me to take it with me or will security just throw it away? What about shaving cream? Can I buy it at the airport?

The above page has a link to the list of prohibited/restricted items
It says that safety razors (where the blade is in a cartridge) are okay for hand luggage.
It's not specifically listed, but shaving cream might be treated as a liquid, and therefore must be in a container of 100ml or less, and carried in a transparent plastic bag.
There are shops where you can buy toiletries after you've gone through security (in Dublin anyway). If you buy shaving cream because you can't bring your own through security, you may not be able to bring it back home again depending on the container size.

And remember its not acceptable to have less than 100ml in a container that has a capacity greater than 100ml. I got caught out that way carrying a bottle of perfume that had about an inch of perfume left in the bottom of it - i.e less liquid than 100ml in bottle but bottle capacity of greater than 100ml. May be obvious but not to me at the time!
Once the bottles / containers themselves are 100ml or less - they are ok...
If you have, for example, 200ml bottle but with only a small bit of "liquid" in the actual bottle, it will be taken off you. Max size container - 100ml.
Also all those items must be put into the clear plastic bag given out at airports. (given is a loose term - you need to purchase them). Remember, you can't get much into those small bags...

No need to buy them at the airport, a normal ziploc sandwich bag will do the trick.
Tesco sell travel size shampoos, conditioners, shaving gel, lynx sprays, etc. I think Boots do too.
Alternatively, you can also put some of your brand shampoo into a clear container like a urine sample bottle available from GP or chemists. You are allowed 10 items of 100 mls or less.
Yes, your perfume of less than 100 mls is fine, as is razor.
Enjoy your trip!

No, all liquids must be presented in a clear plastic bag - it cannot be left in your hand luggage as you go through security. If you leave it in your hand luggage, it may be taken from you.
Once it's smaller than 100ml (which most perfumes are), it'll be allowed through.
Where did you get the ten item thing from? I've never heard it before and am a frequent traveller. My clear bag has a lot of small makeup items, certainly more than 10 and has never been an issue.
Are you crazy?
Depending on where you visit, if caught you would almost certainly be arrested and worse! The ban is not there as an inconvenience, it is an international aviation law. Buying one set of bottles and re-using them would avoid this if you don't want to purchase travel sized products. Something like these which are less than €2 for the three! http://www.ebay.ie/itm/3-x-100ml-Tr...essories_RL&hash=item1e6b208b57#ht_1313wt_905Re the 10 items: Have a look at this document, from the Aer Lingus website, which mentions a 1 litre limit:
[broken link removed]
When I read it the first time, I understood it to be a 1 litre limit on the liquids (or container sizes) - when I read it the second time, I thought it referred to the capacity of the plastic bag rather than what's inside!
It also defines shaving foam in a pressurised container as a liquid, so that answers the OP's query.

As long as it's 100ml or less (and clearly marked as such) then it's fine - the fact that the bottle is glass rather than plastic doesn't matter.
2 more questions and no more. i bought a headset and want to bring it with me ( in a box ). am i allowed to carry it together with cabin baggage? last one.
on my way back, i will have a bag with pillow in it. is it okay or will they throw it away. because i thought, as long as i have one hand baggage under 10 kg's
the rest wont mattes as long as it does't go over 10kg's.
