TLDR : Answer Summary
When traveling with a rechargeable men's razor, it is generally advised to carry it in hand luggage, especially if the device contains a battery. Many users recommend keeping the battery in hand luggage to comply with safety regulations. Some travelers opt to store the razor in checked luggage but take precautions, such as taping the power switch, to avoid accidental activation. It's important to note airlines may have specific rules regarding devices with batteries, so checking with your airline is recommended.

it may depend on battery type / watt hour rating, but certainly with British Airways they say

“In checked baggage

Devices with batteries installed can travel in checked baggage and must be protected from accidental activation.

The device must be completely switched off (not in sleep or hibernation mode).

Spare batteries are forbidden in checked baggage.”

I put them in checked luggage but put a tape over the power switch to avoid it accidentally turning on. I don’t want strange noises coming out of my suitcase and getting arrested lol

the battery is a fire hazard, hence all batteries are required to be in your hand luggage.

Batteries must be in your hand luggage. If the battery is removable you can put the razor in your checked bag and keep the battery in your hand luggage.
