I think it would, but don't expect the things to cost as little as normal
hand razors :)

That would appear to be the most sensible way to build them, yes. So you
could probably replace the blades with foci blades just as easily. The
problem I see here would be: do you need 4 (or 5) weapon foci -- one for
each blade -- or just one? Or do all blades count as one focus?

You can switch foci on and off, costing a Simple Action per focus, without
having to rebond them.
