Gillette knew stacking more and more blades would bring out some primal urge in men. They saw their pals rocking 3 blade heads and knew they must get the 5 blade version to one up them.

I think I remember a (SNL?) sketch from back when 2 blades were the norm and maybe there were some 3 blades starting to come out with an ad for like a 17 blade product.
