The VIVO series takes the classic, bulbous handle shape of an old-fashioned shaving brush and reworks it in high-grade resin, finished with a high-gloss chrome base that nods to the brand's history while giving each piece a secure, comfortable grip. This set pairs the VIVO safety razor (closed comb) with a pure badger shaving brush and a matching bowl, so you have everything you need to start a proper wet shave routine straight out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVivo safety razor with closed comb head, brilliant chrome-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVivo pure badger shaving brush, 21mm knot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching shaving bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorn brown high-grade resin handles throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Handle: High-grade resin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eHigh-grade resin is a dense synthetic material that takes a high polish and holds it. Each handle starts as a solid rod, turned to the VIVO's signature rounded shape, then polished in several stages to bring out its gloss. The result is a handle that feels substantial in the hand and keeps its shine with normal care over years of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Razor: Closed comb safety razor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis safety razor uses a closed comb head, meaning the edge that guides the blade against your skin has no teeth, unlike an open comb design. Combined with a slightly steeper blade angle, this gives a gentler shave than an open comb razor, which makes it a sensible starting point if you're new to safety razor shaving while you get a feel for the right angle and pressure. It still delivers the close, clean lines around the jaw and sideburns that a safety razor is known for. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe razor takes standard double-edge blades (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Brush: Pure badger\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brush head is made from pure badger hair, a material that sits between the softer, finer grades of badger and coarser bristle brushes. It's firm enough to work lather properly into stubble and give your face a light massage as you go, while still being gentle on skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure badger hair runs in natural shades from brownish grey to black, so some colour variation between brushes is normal and not a flaw. The knot measures 21mm across, a comfortable size for building lather in a bowl or on the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing the set\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet your face with warm water to soften the beard, then work your preferred shaving cream or soap into a lather using the badger brush and the bowl provided.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply the lather in circular motions to lift the hair away from the skin.
