One can easily carry in her bag only the charger without necessarily taking the stand, a very good point to go on holiday with. The blades are also protected with a "plug" made of plastic, useful for transport.
The only flaw is that the life of the battery out of its base is not sufficient to take one week. This was certainly the case at the time of purchase but now the battery is a bit old, it is no longer possible.
A highly recommendable product.
