Wants an inexpensive travel razor.

Merkur HD is the BOMB and cheap.
It's got quite a small handle and all and very unasumming. You'll buy it as a travel razor but will be one you can't stop using.
No lie.
Unless you are absolutely wedded to Merkurs, I would suggest you try a Tech. I bought a second just for my travel kit. The 3 piece design is convenient to breakdown and they can be had for cheap.
You might try and get a Feather travel razor, or a LUX, or check the B/S/T for some inexpensive razors.
I agree on the Tech. I travel and camp with one and a very abbreviated kit. Just the Tech, a Body Shop synthetic brush, for faster dry time, and a bar of glycerin soap, that doubles for body and face. And, of course, the Thayers and organic hemp oil to finish. I find the Tech forgiving enough to use in challenging times. It is inexpensive and it does pack down pretty nicely if needed, but I carry mine in a plastic, soap container so I can leave the blade in it.
Why not get the Merkur 4-piece travel razor? Unlike the Tech travel razors the Merkur has a two part handle that screws together to make a longer functional handle. They come in either open comb or closed comb styles and fit nicely in a leather travel pouch. They can be bought for about the same price as an HD.
Tech would be a nice choice.
But if you want to really travel "light" then a BIC Sensitive Disposable would be another option.

If you want an adjustable Merkur, why not get a Futur?

Well it may seem crazy but how about the Merkur Travel Razor: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=27557.
It's pretty good and packs up nice and small.

Feather travel, Tech or Merkur HD... You could find something on BST that would suit you.
Another vote for the Feather Travel, you can pick one up new for about 8 bucks. A fine shaver too!
Absolutely a Tech. They can be had for a song, and don't take up much space. Best of all, they give a great shave.
I'm pretty sure Feather travels are no longer made (I would love to have one), but the "popular" brand is really cheap, comes in a nice plastic case for easy travel, and is a deceptively nice razor.
Black handled Superspeed. I got a bunch of them, they are small and shave well. Trick is smuggling blades in carry-on 
...yeah, me too, i wish
+ 1 best choice...mild not BBS but available everywhere...

If you pm the member Pauldog, he is most likely able to sell you NOS Feather Portable (the all solid metal travel razor) for a very good bargain buy. I got mine a few months ago.
