PEG-115M PEG-7M PEG-100 BHT and Tocopheryl Acetate.
They put me to sleep reading the names and then researching to figure out what they are.
I think we need a Cartridge Razor Lube Strip forum.
I kid, I kid.

Lube strips are just there to make you change blades sooner - if I had paid attention to mine I would get like 2 shaves out of a cart before replacing.
BHT is a preservative. Maybe it keeps wrinkles from forming? At least it keeps your face from growing mold........
This is my theory. Remember the model is to give the handle away and make money on the Blades. Strip wears out before the blade gets dull and you buy a new cartage.

This is why the soap & brush are so important. Since moving on from the canned stuff, I don't pay so much attention to the lube strip. Now the cart only needs to be tossed when the blade itself starts wearing out.
C'mon Gillette - bring back your DE line of razors !!! It's time for Fatboy II some new Super Speeds and a Tech or two.
My thought exactly back when I used to use a M3 in the shower for head shaving the strip was noticeably deteriorated after the first use and completely gone after second.
It's probably to preserve the other ingredients in the strip.
Maybe it's because the blades remove most of the shaving cream off your face? It makes sense to me, shaving cream before the blades, lube strip after. Obviously it doesn't make a HUGE difference but I think the lube strip makes sense. It should be smoother than dragging a piece of plastic on your face.

TOS does not allow posting links, but you can see something about ingredients in one of the patents. Go to google and search "Patent US 6993846 B2". Apparently Eveready, thorugh Energizer Holdings, applied for the patent. The strip under patent is polymer-based, which is plastic. I know I have seen something mucosal-like hanging off the lube strip of a house brand, so there is no telling what was on it. Personally I always found those lube strips to be annoying, and they strip and peel off anyway.
You obviously do not live in the European Union...
