Didn't you say the Dorco kinda sucked and tore up your neck? Or was that a different one? It doesn't seem like it would make sense to keep something that is not enjoyable, especially if you might be able to unlock some value from what is collecting dust right now to acquire something that works better for the same or less money.
Any chance you can still sell it for $10-30 and buy something like the below for a travel one?
Basic butterfly with leather sheath $20-25; slightly longer and better quality than the $15 ones at Winners...

or grab the $8-15 at Winners on clearance or full price (may not have a sheath or case or may have a crushed box). I'd especially keep an eye out just after father's day and they're great things to lend to others if they want to dabble. The main complaint of cheap DE safety razors is that they're shorter, thinner, lighter and less durable. All bigger issues if you want to use it daily, but not really an issue if you're just using it occasionally for short periods of time.
Merkur futur clone w/ stand $30 (no sheath), but a cheap $1-2 soft pencil case from Dollarama or wherever should work well.

The main downside of a DE safety razor when traveling is if you decide to travel carry on only because you can't bring razor blades with you. But a cartridge or electric "back up" would be OK in your carry on.
