My (very early) Christmas Day shave.
I received the Broman razor a few days ago after a 26 month wait following their Indegogo campaign, and haven’t had chance to use it until today.
I was able to snag it for the very cheap price of £4 (including postage) as I was one of the first ten backers and, to be honest, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from it.
It’s a mixture of Zamak and plastic and feels much more substantial in the hand than I thought it would. I loaded one of the half-sized Perma-Sharp blades it came with and ended up experiencing a pleasantly smooth and mild shave. There was some noticeable audible feedback which was a good thing as I could barely feel the razor on my face.
I felt it performed better than similar designs I’ve used before (Focus R45, OneBlade Core and Occam’s Oren) and can see me using it quite often in the future. The only problem I have with it is the name - it’s truly awful and really needs to be changed.
I finished off with some Bart’s Balm which rounded off an enjoyable shave.
Happy Christmas everyone.
