They hold more soap/cream before you have to rinse them. ;)
I don't remember if I chimed in on this subject or not. A lot of experienced shavers prefer the larger blades.

Now as an experienced shaver who has finally tamed the blade, I prefer the 5/8 razors. I like the light, agile qualities it gives me.
