Yeah, it probably would've looked much nicer if they added a bit more colour to the plastic used in the head. That grey doesn't look very nice.

Hehe. I actually quite liked the industrial look. It's owned it's cast geometry. I do think a machined blade cover piece in brass would lift it a lot.

I used my Broman for the first time today and have outlined my thoughts on it below:
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 like the look of it. It reminds me of the Milbro catapults I used to use! . I am very tempted. I want a reliable razor to use up my DE Blades. I like the R48 but it is a little fiddly.....the Razorock was a waste of money. Is it worth the full price of £39 delivered. At £4 it would be a no brainer

Razorock had one like this?

No they produced the Eco which looks like a hawk. Very blade fussy and uncomfortable in use

That’s the nub of the question Brian. I’m honestly not sure if it’s worth £39.
The plastic stand isn’t great and the faux leather case is useable but somewhat cheaply made.
If they priced the razor at £30 or less then I would probably say that it would be worth purchasing. As it is, I think it’s slightly over-priced.
Shame about that case, from the photos I quite like the look of it. Do you think the plastic parts being in a satin black rather than a grey would help lift it?

Oh. I actually have it and thought it was quite nice when using a really shallow angle.

Personally, I’d remove both the stand and case from the package and then sell the razor on it’s own at a lower unit price. I reckon, at the right price point, this razor could sell well.
I like the idea of satin black plastic parts (although the light grey is fine in itself).
What would also be interesting would be to see whether the design could be replicated stainless steel, aluminium or brass. I think that either of these could make for a very exciting proposition.
