The ShaveMate Titan 6

I have been seeing it for sale locally for the better part of a year. There is also a six bladed cartridge razor made by Dorco that is sold under various store brands.

If Five blades doesn't shave well ,and is three to four to many, then six blades is just total overkill!!
 
I couldn't believe this line:


"We use technology that's used in the semiconductor industry and the automotive industry to get the spacing just right between blades," he says. (Note: Maybe this is why the Mach ads featured cars?) "We're talking microns," Jones says. "It's a very deep technical science."


MICRON: a unit of length equal to 10-6 metre. It is being replaced by the micrometre, the equivalent SI unit. That's one millionth of a meter!

The diameter of human hair ranges from between 17 to 180 Microns.The best part, imho, is below.
"I really think they peaked at three," sighs Mark Sproston, a.k.a. the Shave Doctor, who leads shaving seminars in England and who has surveyed approximately 14,000 men on their shaving habits. "But manufacturers have realized that the blade market could be worth much more than the razor market." The Fusion razor, for example, costs $10 at CVS, but four replacement blades run $16.
... All of it made possible by a society that dictates that men's faces should resemble babies' butts.
(Sproston) ... likes the Mach3 but prefers to shave clients with a single-blade razor, which he says is the best combination of closeness and non-irritation.
