I also use the Merkur travel razor. When its broken down it fits into its own very small leather case, and you can even put a few extra blades into it. I have both that I keep in my dopp kit, the safety bar and the OC, that way I have my choice when I travel.
What is your "Travel Razor"

Last time I was away from home I took my 1940s bakelite 7 O'Clock set- obviously it's light and has a really dinky bakelite travelling case with a blade storage compartment.
Also Body Shop synthetic brush which dries super quick for packing away the next morning.

I use a banged up Gillette NEW with a bar handle when I travel.
I have a few of them that I bought for just a couple bucks each. They are great shavers and I wont be terribly upset if the razor is damaged or lost.

Can you get DE blades through the TSA?

Nope
My Merkurs 37c. It is a great smooth, easy and safe shaver. A lot less aggressive than my R41 2011 head. When traveling I need to shave swiftly with no weepers and the 37c does that in my sleep. It is small too and strong wearing. Travel companion is the Dreadnought Synthetic and a travel tube of Bigelows. Astra SP or German Walmart Wilkinson. I really like that setup.
20c
Merkur 38C.
Provides great shaves w/o much thought and it gets daily use which it doesn't when I'm home.

Gillette NEW Tuckaway (silver/chrome)
I use a Wee Scot, a Speick shave stick and either a Gillette Tuckaway or New Norfolk Chromium.

Nice looking pictures! I like the idea of using a converted mint tin for a DE razor travel case!

Nice looking travel razor!
I do not fly these days so I take my AS-D1 and Feathers. Someone sent me a small "tupperware" type container just big enough for this. Not fancy by any stretch but very functional.
When flying:
Cartridge: Gillette Sensor (two blade)
or one of the disposables that work for me:
Gillette Sensor 3, Schick Xtreme 3, Wilk Tech 3, Bic Metal or Schick ST2
Car travel:
Gillette Slim Adjustable
At home, I'm stuck on Ikons.

Vintage Trac II handle in case.
This guy or an EJ.
you can put DE blades in your checked luggage
What's the big deal with losing it? I mean how do you lose an DE/SE when you travel? It's the first thing I check when checking out or loading my luggage up. I really hate to settle, So I Take along My Titan H-1 , Ej 89 With Weber Bulldog handle, and sometimes a 1914 SE. I really don't worry losing my razors unless I loose my carry on, and I doubt that would ever happen

I mail my se blades ahead, or buy at a near by Tabacco shop or I can just check in Luggage and make a little. Carry on of the most important belongings, Like my razors, jewelry, and one set if extra clothes. There are options, so I have to make the best of it.
