I would guess that the reason is that Gillette (or whoever) puts worse blades in their previous-generation cartridges in order to convince you to upgrade. A single blade works just fine. There's really no reason for these ridiculous things.

Meh. I prefer the multi-blade versions. I only tried the 5-blade version when they sent out free samples (hey! free sample!), and I already had a fairly large supply of the single-blade types. It just... felt better, even after being used for 4 weeks.

I'm with you on that. All the goo strip seems to do is rub off, and then get sticky, which makes the experience worse.
