What are some of the best options for a razor to take on trips? I have to have it in carry on luggage and mailing blades to myself is not a workable solution.
If you still want to stick with a DE razor for travel, then for 1) lightness in weight (14g), 2) being non-metal and 3) providing an excellent shave, I highly recommend the Merkur 45 Bakelite.
I would opt for a bump fighter handle, which you can pick up at most Wal-Mart stores:
don't use the blades though...they are for skin conditions and will not give you a close shave...ie razor bumps

And purchase the wilkinson twin II plus also at walmart for around $3.60 for a ten pack.
they might not be the absolute best overall ... but I've found in traveling ... these work out quite well and give a decent shave.

Overall the price is right and easy to get
+1Trust me... do the Mach3 stuff, no hassles at all. Leave the expensive stuff at home especially on international flights.
