I was beginning to think I had lost the money I spent at the end of March. I even moved houses. I sent them an email with no response. All the stories we have al seen around the net about Broman, but today, a battered box arrived to my forwarding address. I did not get the 100 blades I was expecting but honestly at this point, I wasn’t expecting anything to come. For those interested, I will post a review here after her trial run. For those that have used them does it prefer a certain blade or have most of you just been throwing all the different types in.
They do exist

I have one that I have been meaning to take for a spin, and I am planning to use a Gillette Yellow or another sharp blade for the trial run...mild razor + sharp blade = great shave.
Wow! Glad you got it. I gave up hope and demanded a refund. After being ignored I trashed him on Facebook and he finally refunded my order. I’d love to try the razor. Too bad it’s an awful company. Please let us know your thoughts.

Guess I was lucky. I ordered mine when it just got out in their store for the first time and got it after their first batch sold out... If I recall right. Had to wait a tiny bit for an order update however.
I've tried mine a couple of times with different blades. The perma-sharps were okay, but I wanted something else. Gave it a try with both an Astra SP and a personna red. The Astra SP felt very rough for me. The personna was slightly better.
Sort of surprised me that the personna didnt give me completly what I wanted. Since it is my blade of choice for the DE razors that I have.
One blade that did surprise me was the shark stainless. Never tried it before I tried it with my broman. Effective yet smooth. So I'd suggest the shark from personal experience. Though YMMW.
Kinda want to throw a feather sample blade into mine. But I've been busy enjoying my schick L1 and supply injector razors instead.
Sorry to spam the thread. But I gave the broman another try today with a new blade that I have never used before.
Sufficed to say, if you ever run into a "need a fast shave and rush out the door" situation, then I can highly recommend using a feather in it. Mowed everything down.

Reminds me of pre-Internet mail order. Many companies said "6 - 8 weeks delivery". Sometimes it took longer. The Broman is so 70's.
I just got a Broman razor on Saturday. I am UK based but mine came from Portugal. The razor, stand and pouch are decent quality and fairly good value. Liking it so far. For me it is like the Gillette Guard (mild and easy to use) but with solid weight and an endless choice of blades!
