Blade life isn’t too bad. I have tried using the Western Razor blades with the Henson and the shave is not as smooth.

It is well made but the shave it provided was not satisfactory.
Good to know. When I pulled the first blade out of the box that came with the razor I was surprised by how barely there the blade felt. It worked well.

I feel like the edges of the machining added a fair amount of grip despite the relatively smooth handle.
