I'm so embarassed. I actually bought into that two blades is better than one thing - but I figured that two blades was the absolute peak of shaving requirements. But then came three blades. And four blades. And now somehow we actually need five blades to shave?!
I suppose at some point there must be a limit. At a maximum I figure the number of blades should not have a combined height that exceeds the length of shavable inches on the average face. I think that would make about 50 blades.
Then there is the weight consideration. Once the razor exceeds a certain number of ounces I would assume one's dexterity would begin to diminish. There has to be a point where the benefit of extra blades is offset by the loss of agility as one struggles to move this behemoth across one's face.
And what exactly is the benefit of all those extra blades? The twin blade supposedly used the lead blade to pull a hair a little further out of the face while the second blade chopped the sucker off. Are we now to assume that the first four blades each pull that hair ever further out of the face just before number five comes along to finish the dirty deed? At some point I fear a vital organ might come peaking out with all those objects tugging on my face. God forbid that I shave one of those right off of me. That would take some kind of after shave to soothe that razor burn!

I couldn't agree with you more. In fact, I think the newer models also are contoured to the natural waves of the face. Incredible! So much engineering invested in a razor.
I think they even leveraged the idea in other industries. Take, for example, your daily vehicle. Ever notice that there have been multiple wiper blades on the market? Now I have a triple blade wiper that can skip three times as much! I'm actually holding out for the 19 blade version so it can play a musical melody as it swipes across my windshield. Actually, if I had that many blades, I probably couldn't see out my windshield. But, I can be confident that my windshield would be safe and dry. Unfortunately, I may be a little uncomfortable in a torrential downpour if I had to keep my driver side window down and stick my head out while I'm driving to see.
Next thing, they'll come up with a utensil that resembles multiple forks: that way you can savor more bites of chunky soup!
Interesting observation. Perhaps this logic could also be applied to automobile tires. Imagine the traction if instead of four tires underneath your Pinto, there were eight. Or maybe both the front and back could have an entire row of tires. That would probably work out to about 7 tires each. But why stop there? I think we need four rows of tires with 7 tires in each row. There's an idea that could gain some traction!
I wonder if we could invert the idea to have multiple vehicles on one wheel. Or better yet, why not just have them balance on a ball? That way, they would have universal drive! Imagine the possibilities: cars could go in any direction, except up perhaps, but I'm sure that could be remedied. In fact, these days, cars have just about anything. I noticed this morning that a woman was applying makeup and a man was shaving. Or was that the other way around. You just can't tell these days. I really prefer the days when men were men, and woman were glad that they were.
