I know you can take almost anything as long as it is checked. When coming home from the Military I flew from San Diego to Cleveland,I had a couple combat knives in my checked bags and the TSA agent said when I asked about them all they said was they are checked and no worries.

The concern with sharp objects in your checked in luggage is not a security concern. The airline lawyers are afraid of a situation where an improperly packed knife is able to pierce your luggage and subsequently damage other peoples luggage. If this was to happen the airline would be liable for damages.
So if the knife or razor is properly packed (not just a naked blade floating around amongst your underwear) you should not have any problems.
Of course I doubt you would be able to take a straight into the cabin with you for a mid flight shave. (what a pitty we can't have a mile high shavers club)

No problem. I thought the same thing -- as a matter of fact, I opened the door where T&H used to be and got stares from a bunch of construction workers. Unfortunately I didn't read the thread responses until after I got back, so I never got to visit T&H.

Hope you're cleaning up in that pool tournament (and if not, hope you're at least having fun in Vegas)!
