I'm not entirely sure the 'better shave' is that much of a scam. I think it's a case of YMMV. But yes, the price difference is utterly insane.
Personally, I do find traditional blades tend to offer a better, quicker shave, for whatever reason I seem to be a bit more prone to cutting myself while shaving with safety razors (add that to the list of 'safety' things I've managed to injure myself with, having avoided doing so with 'regular' variants). I'm not too bothered about it on the face or neck, though I will say my Henson has cut a mole right where my moustache line is just about every time I've used it.
Sucks really cause the Henson is a pretty solid piece of kit. But sadly, it just doesn't seem to agree with me as well as current razors. It doesn't stop me from offering it up as a means of saving money to people however, but I tend to follow with a "YMMV" disclaimer because of my experience.

Reply to If you shave, get a shaving handle that uses a simple disposable razor. The razor lasts much longer than anything at your local store and provides a better shave. by bi_polar2bear
