I don't have thick/coarse facial and body hair so experiences may vary, but after reading the NYT article on women shaving their faces, I got curious and tried it myself, and I love the results. Twice a month I use a BIC single blade and run it over my face and body wet with water (no soap, just water; I don't want a too close of a shave). Hair grows back thin and soft and I could probably get away with doing it once a month, but the exfoliation is amazing and it makes my skin look very good. Plus I enjoy the ritual, I put on 80s music and sing along in front of the mirror while I do my face, ha ha.
Little razors made specifically for facial shaving are available. Tinkle is a famous brand.
An article on Sharpologist https://sharpologist.com/2016/04/traveling-de-carry-2.html suggests DE disposable medical prep razors, which you can get on Amazon, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/McKesson-Performance-Double-Razor-Disposable/dp/B002C68I6I/ . Since the blade is non-removable, they are ok in carry-on luggage, and I haven't had any problems. Note that you do have to buy these in quantity, sometimes 100 of them.
Another alternative that people have suggested before is disposable single blade razors, such as the Bic Sensitive, also available on Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/BIC-Sensitive-Single-Blade-Shaver/dp/B01AKGRDBW/?th=1 , and at many drugstores (at least where I am).
Of course, both of these are plastic, so it won't be like shaving with your slim adjustable (which is also my favorite razor). But I've found them ok for trips, and I don't like checking any bags. I can usually get three shaves from either of these (and that's typically what I get with razor blades too). The Bics are better than I expected.
Also, following up on what u/Matty_Joestar said, I do have two plastic Dorco PL602's. With the blade in, the Dorco looks very much like a disposable prep razor. So before I bought the prep razors, I would just put a blade in each of the Dorcos and put them in my shaving kit. I never had any problems with TSA, but this is technically not ok according to their blog, https://www.tsa.gov/blog/2010/08/17/safety-razors-and-disposable-razors .

I think this is the kind of razor that you wanted to order. Sounds like you ordered blades for a DE safety razor.
These are about $0.25 apiece.
My wife and I both use them and you don't get a better shave. Also, don't use shaving cream/lotion/body wash. A standard bar of soap works best. (Do not use lava soap, you'll get one use out of the razor.)
