A Parade of Razors
Here's a progression of razor growth throughout the years. On the left we have the Gillette Sensor (1990) with its measily two blades. Who knew back then we'd need more than two? Next we have the Mach3 (1998), shown in unpowered "Turbo" form, followed by it's genre-busting brother the Mach3 Power (2004), each with three blades. Who knew back then we'd need more than three? Next we have the Schick Quattro (2003), four blades of patent-busting leap-frogging fury. Who knew back then we'd need more than four? And lastly on the right we have the new Gillette Fusion and the Fusion Power (2006) - five bold and beautiful blades, with a sixth on the back for good measure.
Update (1/17/2008): Who knew back then we'd need more than six?

the more interesting is the cost of blades. this has to be the biggest rip-off going. I see no one wants to compete at the low end, supposed schick went for 5 blades for $5.00 gillette would have to follow.
these are my thoughts hank
