Toothbrush on Ryanair

Hi guys

Hopefully this question doesn't seem to silly!

I'm taking a Ryanair flight tomorrow and want to bring my electric toothbrush. My only concern is once the head of the brush is removed the piece of metal underneath is fairly sharp and thin looking. Surely this must be banned from hand luggage like everything else?

For the record, it's an Oral B (so you know what I'm talking about!).

    I don't recall seeing an electric toothbrush on the prohibited list so should be ok.

    I went through with a pair of tweezers which I would assume could be just as harmful as a toothbrush :confused:

    If in doubt, stick it in your suitcase if you're taking one.

    Well I always take my Oral B two speed Professional through Stansted in my hand luggage, if that's what yours is too then they won't even blink :D, but I think I might blink if I tried to de-plaque my teeth with a disposable razor ynot :p
