They do last longer, though a month is pushing it.  Depends on how much hair you have to shave.  I've been using them for 2 years.  I'm BBC so I have a full head to shave, and they last me about 2 weeks, which is about a week and a half longer then non-cyro'ed blades last me.

I buy mine here, http://www.greatrazors.com/

Just do a search for the blade brand you want.  I still use Atra's.

Sweet Rob, they have the Sensor Excels.  Much appreciated.

The cryogenic blade is subjected to a temperature of 270degrees below zero. Evidently this causes the material to return to its orginal molecular structure from the battering it took to get made.

As VFRWolf said, they do work.  I haven't ordered any in while, but they are worth it.  I would imagine if you were a Fusion user, you would really benefit because of the extreme pricing for those blades in a retail store.

I also store my razor in oil, to keep the oxidation off of them.  Since RazorMax went belly up, I've just been using mineral oil.  Makes the lube strip a little gunky, but that hasn't caused me any issues.  So between that and cryo'ed blades, I average 2 weeks on a blade, shaving every day.
