thank you much.

the audio feedback provided by this razor is definately pronounced! that is the most I've heard from any razor.

That's true, some SR will give a bit more but that's about the most you'll hear from any razor. They can really sing.

Nah just wait until more posts come in from others. It could be bad technique, bad unit, wrong blade or soap combo. Will try again. For now go back to couple of days nothing or a oneblade core wtg.

I'll await your updated assessment. I'd like to know your informed impression.

I'll await your updated assessment. I'd like to know your informed impression.

the thing I am afraid for is that the head blade alignment of the broman is not ok. I have had that with a faulty merkur futur copy and you get it when the blade shifts in a good focus r48 during loading resulting in a very agressive to very mild blade tilt and a terrible shave. So need to do it again and again and take a magnifying glass to check.
if they have a manufacturing problem I am pretty sure we will see a lot of rough ride reviews pretty fast.
