How to Travel (Without the Faff)

How to Travel (Without the Faff)

Travelling just got more confusing, thanks to a mix of new scanner tech, old liquid rules, and stricter baggage policies. This blog cuts through the chaos with clear advice on what you can pack, how to avoid airport faff, and why FFS travel minis and multi-use products like LazyFella are your go-to travel companions. Whether you’re flying from a major airport or a tiny regional one, we’ve got your bathroom routine covered, no stress, no spills & no drama.

Let’s face it, travel’s meant to feel exciting, not confusing. But between new scanners, old rules, and some airlines ‘no-squashing in the bag testing thingy at the gate’ policy. Here’s how to travel smarter, no matter where you’re headed or who you are.

Razors on planes – the myth, the truth, the FFS version

Still unsure whether you can bring your razor in hand luggage? You’re not alone. It’s one of the most searched travel questions every year, and for good reason. Here’s the short answer: yes, you can take your razor handle on the plane. But no, you can’t bring the refill blades in your carry-on. The good news? If you’re travelling with FFS, you’ve got options. Pop your spare blades in your checked bag, or better yet, use our flexible subscription to get a fresh pack delivered straight to your hotel. Easy.

New tech, same old confusion

Some airports now let you carry up to 2 litres of liquid without the faffy clear plastic bag. Amazing, right? Except… most smaller regional airports haven’t upgraded yet. So unless you fancy repacking your toiletries at security, it’s safest to stick to the old 100ml rule and keep everything in a bag  just in case. That’s where our travel range comes in. Whether you’re flying from Heathrow or a tiny regional runway, our compact essentials keep you covered, no matter the rules. Less stress, less mess, and no awkward binning your full-size cleanser at the gate.

Why smaller products = bigger wins

  • Less weight in your cabin bag = fewer chances of being stopped at the gate.

  • Lighter cases = less stress if you’ve got tight baggage allowances.

  • Products like our LazyFella all-in-one bar mean no liquid rule panic and it doubles as shampoo, face and body wash. Easy.

4. And about that bag policy

You’ve probably seen the viral clips: bags that technically fit, but bulge just a bit? Not getting past the gate.

Travelling light (and smart) with multi-use, smaller items means:

  • Less chance of paying extra.

  • No awkward repacking on the floor.

  • More room for souvenirs. Or snacks. We’re not judging.

The final boarding call

Travelling doesn’t need to be a logistical nightmare. With a little know-how and products that actually make sense, you can breeze through security, avoid the bag drama, and still look fresh when you land. FFS takes care of the bathroom stuff. You just worry about boarding on time.
