It was in the last pocket I looked [in] -- I would omit the second "in" as it is inferred and not needed. You already state "in" earlier in the phrase. Considering the speed I was going [at],....

You have said to omit in

If I said It was in the last pocket in which I looked.Would that be fine?

Can I ask you

Is this correct and natural?

You won't be able to get a close shave with hair clipper blade #7 or #3 for that matter. You'll have to get rid of the blade.
