You've Got to Be Kidding Me...

Link.

Okay, I'll explain this so that everybody can understand it...

Gillette is going to add another blade every year or so until PEOPLE STOP BUYING THIS CRAP. So go buy a vintage brass razor and get your blades at the hardware store like a real man. That'll teach these idiots that no matter how many blades and slime strips one adds to one's flagship razor, it's all just crummy marketing and we don't have to buy into this shit.

BTW, here's an article from The Onion completely satirizing this concept. The people at Gillette are laughing at you while they make plans for introducing the first 6-bladed razor.

I'm a single-blade man myself...but if the G-men wanted to drop a cool unit on us we'd figure out how to sell 6 blades real fast. Truth is no matter how many blades I use it always comes back the next day.
