Amazon has Slavich double-wt. FB graded paper in many sizes----100 sht. box of 8X10 for $90.
 
B&H is special order, no telling how long it will take to fill the order, wonder how the sanctions against Russia might impact delivery. Later to today when I have time may and try and call B&H for clarification.
 
Freestyle doesn't have it. They have rebadged FB VC fomapan for $86 or so, but I saw a sample they sent me of their rebadged foma in RC vs Ilord, made w/the the same neg & dev, and the tonality was thin compared to Ilford. I'm hoping Slavic graded is better!

I liken Salvich to Agfa Bravo in tones and contrast, I was sorry when Freestyle stopped carrying it. I use Foma as well, but for some negatives Salvich works well for me. I called and left a message at B@H, will try to send an email as well, what i don't to do is tie up money without a firm delivery date.
 
If you mean Agfa BROVIRA, then I couldn't be happier!
 
FWIW, I'm a Slavich fan (Unibrom 160 - graded) and was disappointed when Freestyle discontinued it. I'm glad B&H and Amazon are carrying it, but my west coast supplier (special order only) is closer and the shipping is cheaper.

Bernadette does special orders through the year, but she often has stock in, and will reply within a day or so. A month or so back she had 4 or 5 25-sheet packs in stock of a couple emulsions.
