Sounds like you need something important to fuss about, Mike. Maybe your engine will blow? :-)

Or if your ziplocks aren't tight enough, put the razor in the small ziplock, fold the excess plastic so it's snug around the razor, and put a rubber band around it.

Or barring that, get some tiny rubber bands - the kinds teen-agers used to have on their braces, I don't know if they still exist - and just attach the plastic covers. Scotch tape would work too.
