My little cherry tomatoes are starting to ripen. Every morning, on my way to work, I check the plants, hoping that a small yellow or red/green globe is ripe for the picking. My beauties are all heirloom varieties from Vicki's Veggies, who hosts an annual tomato seedling sale in the spring. With very little sun in my yard but very high hopes, I bought some plants.
Vicki's Veggies, in beautiful Prince Edward County
Vicki's amazing greenhouse full of 'lil baby tomato plants
My lone Anna...usually prolific, but not in my garden
The first to appear was an Anna Russian. It was almost too beautiful to eat, shading from pink to red to green. Sadly my little Anna Russian gave its all to that one tomato, and promptly produced no more. But, boy, was it delicious.
The others though, seem to have adapted to their cramped containers. Negro Azteca and Yellow Pear are full of fruit and flowers, while Dr. Carolyn takes a more leisurely stroll towards ripeness. All that garden activity made me hungry for a fresh tomato gazpacho. Bosco Farms at Liberty Village's My Market spoils me for choice. With a precious string-bag full of heirlooms, the soup's but a blender blitz away.
Farm Fresh Tomato Gazpatcho with Avocado-Lime Salsaserves 6
8-10 heirloom tomatoes*
1 medium English (seedless) cucumber, peeled
3-4 red scallions, a mix of red, white and green parts (or one very small red onion)
1 large red bell pepper
½ c chopped cilantro
12-15 fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp chopped fresh marjoram
2 tbsp sherry vinegar
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp kosher salt, or more to taste
½ tsp coarse black pepper, or more to taste
* Use like-coloured tomatoes to avoid a "muddy" looking end result
Take advantage of the market's summer bounty
1. Roughly chop all of the ingredients. Puree in blender in batches (unless you have a supersized blender). I like a smooth consistency but you can leave it a bit more chunky, if you desire.
2. If blending in batches, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir in the salt, pepper and the vinegars. Adjust for seasoning, top with a dollop of Avocado-Lime Salsa (recipe follows) and serve.
Can be made ahead - in fact, this soup benefits from being well chilled, especially during the dog days of summer.
Avocado-Lime Salsa
makes approx 2 cups
This lime-infused salsa is the perfect dollop with the gazpacho. I shamelessly ate the leftovers right from the dish, no tortilla chips required.
2 large ripe avocados
3 tbsp lime juice
1 small shallot, finely minced
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
½ jalepeno pepper, seeds and pith removed, finely minced
½ tsp salt, or to taste
½ tsp pepper, or to taste
1. Pit and dice avocado. I like larger chunks for this salsa. Put in a small bowl and combine with the lime juice.
NB. If you are handy with a knife, you can try a neat trick I learned recently to remove that pesky pit. Cut the avocado in two lengthwise, and - carefully - holding one half in your hand, take a sharp knife and strike the avocado pit hard enogh so that the knife adheres to the pit. A little wiggle, and the pit is removed. I then dice the avocado with the skin still on, and scoop it out with a spoon.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir gently and adjust for seasoning.

Every year, USCIS approves 65,000 cap-subject H-1B visas and an additional 20,000 H-1B visas for candidates with advanced degrees. Every year for the past ten years, the number of applicants for these visas has exceeded the cap. When this happens, CIS initiates a lottery that utilizes a computer-generated randomized selection process to determine which petitions get reviewed and which get returned to the sender.
The H-1B lottery has always been shrouded in mystery. Despite claims of commitment to transparency, CIS has not been forthcoming with information about the mechanisms of this lottery. There is no way to hold CIS accountable for this process and possible flaws or unfairness resulting from it. There is no way to tell whether this process even holds up to statutory standards without the ability to see and review it. For this reason, a lawsuit has been brought against CIS and the US Department of Homeland Security by the American Immigration Council and the American Immigration Lawyers Association with the purpose to seek information about the inner workings of the H-1B lottery process.
H-1B visas are dual-purpose, non-immigrant visas that allow highly skilled foreign nationals with a US bachelor's degree or its equivalent or higher to live and work in the United States for increments of three years to fill specialized job positions. Demand for highly skilled workers with highly specialized skills and knowledge in the rapidly expanding US IT industry has been a driving force for the number of H-1B petitions filed growing every year. CIS must continue to accept H-1B petitions for at least one business week before closing its doors. The past two years, the cap has been exceeded within five days of when CIS begins accepting petitions.
While the lawsuit is a good step in the right direction to bring some insight and accountability to the mysterious H-1B lottery process, there is little that can currently be done by H-1B candidates and their employers and lawyers to affect whether or not the petition makes the lottery. Besides filing on April First, of course.
"The internal workings of the H-1B lottery system are out of all of our control or understanding for now," International education expert and executive director of prominent foreign credential evaluation agency TheDegreePeople, Sheila Danzig explains. "What you can influence is what happens when your petition makes the lottery, and you can influence this by understanding CIS trends for what gets approved and what does not."
H-1B visa requirements are largely based on the nature of the candidate's job and education. For this reason CIS trends surrounding requirements pertaining to these facets are important to understand and anticipate. This is the difference between your visa or your employee or client's visa getting approved or receiving an RFE or worse. These trends also change, and have changed over the past five or six years and the number of H-1B petitions flooding in has increased.
Danzig recommends consulting with a credential evaluator who consistently works with H-1B cases and RFEs before filing a petition or responding to an RFE. Evaluators who do the difficult work gain a complex understanding of international education norms, CIS trends, and what works and what does not work.
"Forget about the lottery and focus on what you can do," advises Danzig.

Poynton Updates and News 18/03/2014
Archived PUN can be found here and the most recent PUN here.
Mayor's Big Coffee Morning
This will take place, with live entertainment, at the Civic Hall on Saturday 26th April, from 9am to 1pm, and is in aid of the Mayor's chosen charity, MacMillan Cancer Support. Do come along, join in the fun, and help raise money for a great cause.
Poynton's Shared Space
A small joint working group has been established with representatives from the Town Council and at a senior level in Cheshire East Council to tackle urgently the remedial work required within the shared space area. We are hopeful that this cooperation will lead to a long-awaited solution to the issue, with timescales, and we will keep residents informed.
Travellers in Poynton
Many residents will have been aware of a brief occupation by travellers of the Jackson's Brick Works car park in Higher Poynton last week. Thanks to early action on the part of local residents, Cheshire East Council and the police, the situation was quickly resolved, and the travellers moved on. Residents are asked to be vigilant, and to report promptly to the police any attempt by travellers to occupy public or private land in Poynton by dialling 101 (not 999).
Poynton Neighbourhood Plan
The Town Council is about to embark on the preparation of a comprehensive Neighbourhood Plan for Poynton, and is looking for committed and willing volunteers to help with this important task. This document, which would have statutory approval once approved, aims to reflect the views and fulfil the needs of our residents in terms of the medium and longer term character of Poynton. Rather than a barrier to development, such a Plan would help influence its nature and location. Once approved by more than 50% of our residents, planning committees, planning officers and developers would need to pay serious attention to its content.
More detail about the Plan, and how to get involved, is contained in a leaflet to be inserted in April's Poynton Post. Later this month the leaflet can also be viewed on the Town Council website, and spare copies will be available from the Civic Hall.
Inclined to help?
As well as protecting the woodland on the two Inclines, the Town Council is keen to increase their usage through improving the footpaths and signage etc.
Volunteers were recently sought to form 'Inclines Ground Force', a team to help clear footpaths and tidy debris. The first Inclines Ground Force event took place earlier this month, for which there was a very encouraging turn out of some 30 volunteers, including 12 Explorer Scouts and their leader, Andy, from 1st Poynton Scouts.
If you are interested in getting involved, the next working party will be gathering at 10am on Saturday 12th April at the bottom of Lady's Incline – suitably attired! Some tools will be provided, but feel free to bring any useful tools of your own. Refreshments will also be offered.
For further information contact Richard Holland on 01625 872238 or e-mail email@example.com
Poynton In Business - Next Meeting
This is an evening meeting, and will take place at the Cask Tavern on Park Lane on Wednesday 9th April at 5.30pm
For more information about this business meeting, or to confirm your attendance, please contact Richard Holland on 01625 872238 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or go to the Business Page of the Council's website.
Poynton Springboard – Music For All
A varied and exciting programme is already coming together for this launch event, over the weekend of Friday evening 26th September to Sunday 28th September 2014, with a number of venues and performers confirmed.
This will be a community event with many different types of music to suit all tastes and ages. Please make a note of this weekend in your calendars and diaries.
Annual Community Litter Pick
This will take place on the last Saturday in March – Saturday 29th March. You are asked to collect at the Civic Hall from 9.30am, for a 10am start. Bin bags, litter picks and gloves will be on hand, and hot and cold drinks and biscuits will be available throughout at the Civic Hall. Please give whatever time you can to help keep the village tidy.
First World War Commemoration – Volunteer needed!
The Town Council has established a budget to help underpin community events this year commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the start of the First World War. Discussions will be taking place with local schools, churches, the British Legion and the Poynton Local History Society, as well as other interested parties.
Meanwhile the Town Council would like to hear from anyone in the community interested in co-ordinating the various commemorative events. Please contact the Town Clerk on T. 01625 872238 firstname.lastname@example.com
Help at the 2014 Summerfest
The launch meeting was held recently for the 2014 event, which will take place from 11.30am to 4.30pm on Sunday 13th July. It promises to be every bit as good as last year's, with much interest already being shown by local stallholders, live bands and other interested parties.
The small group of volunteers who organise this community event would be really grateful for a team of volunteers to help on the day itself – free Summerfest T shirts are on offer! . If you are interested please contact Pat Clay on T. 01625 878495.
Poynton Pedal
There are plans to hold a family biking event along the Middlewood Way, between Poynton and Bollington, on the same day as the Summerfest (see above item), perhaps using the Coppice Car Park as the start and finish point.
If confirmed, it will form part of the High Peak Summer of Cycling 2014, but we do need a group of volunteers to organise and manage it on the day. If you are interested please contact the Town Clerk on T. 01625 872238,
Community Transport Funding
Cheshire East Council has made funds available to create and promote community transport schemes in its towns and villages. The Town Council submitted a comprehensive business case to create a Shopmobility scheme in Poynton, and to procure two ex-Cheshire East minibuses and associated funding to operate them, for the benefit local groups and voluntary organisations. We hope our bids will be successful, and we will keep residents informed. Meanwhile the Town Council would like to thank those many organisations and individuals who wrote in support of these schemes.
A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road
The main contractor for this road scheme, Carillion Morgan Sindall (CMS), are carrying out ground investigation works for around 6 weeks, having started on Wednesday 19th February 2014. This involves some 250 trial pits/trenches or boreholes along the length of the scheme. Letters were sent in advance to the 20 or so landowners affected. For more information contact the CMS Engineering Manager, John England, T. 0161 9278220, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
Dog Fouling
The Town Council continues to receive complaints about dog fouling. If residents become aware of repeat offenders, with the fouling taking place at fairly regular times at the same location and which the owners do not clear up, please contact the Community Dog Warden on T.0300 123 5021, e-mail email@example.com and/or let the Town Council know (T. 01625 872238), who will then inform the PCSOs.
Ranger Events
For details of Ranger events please call T. 01625 383700 or go to the Rangers website www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/leisure,_culture_and_tourism/ranger_service/ranger_events.aspx.

Wet shaving is undergoing something of a renaissance these days – more and more men are throwing away their disposable razors and investing in a well-made product that gives a much cleaner shave and doesn't cut you all over like those ten-for-a-dollar products. That's why we've written this article: to show you some of the best safety razors around so that you can skip the legwork, safe in the knowledge that you have the best of the best.
You don't have to take our word for it though – classic clean-cut men like Cary Grant and Jon Hamm achieve their looks by using a safety razor, and with such a wide selection, there's never been a better time to give it a try. You might even enjoy shaving for once, and if you turn your chores into something you enjoy, are they really chores at all?
Best Safety Razor 2020 – Handpicked By Shaving Experts & Barbers
Below, you'll find a table with some really basic details on each razor. This isn't as deep as we're going, though, it's just to give you a basic understanding of the range of products we'll be reviewing today.
|Head Type
|WEISHI Safety Razor
|2.5 ounces
|Merkur Long Handled Safety Razor (MK 23C)
|3.95 ounces
|VIKINGS BLADE The Chieftain Safety Razor
|2.45 ounces
|Merkur Futur Adjustable Safety Razor
|4.2 ounces
|Merkur Progress
|4 ounces
|Feather All Model AS-D2
|3.1 ounces
Now that you've taken a look at all of the different safety razors we're recommending, let's take a closer look at each of them. We'll be looking for the areas in which each product excels, where it might need some work, and who it would be the best fit for. So, without further ado, let's begin with the WEISHI Safety Razor.
WEISHI Safety Razor – Best Budget Safety Razor
WEISHI Safety Razor – Best Budget Safety Razor
A lot of people think that it costs a lot of money to get started with wet shaving, but thankfully, that's not true. The WEISHI Safety Razor costs less than $20, not that you'd be able to tell from its appearance.
It's made of brass but has a gunmetal silver chrome coating which really helps give it a high-end appearance. The handle is 4" long and textured to provide a better grip – this makes it ideal for use in the shower, especially since the razor itself doesn't rust easily. The long handle also allows for more precise, fine movements for those hard to reach spots.
The razor comes with 5 starter blades which are of a decent quality, although if you're serious about using a safety razor, you might want to consider upgrading these to something of a bit higher quality since there are definitely better alternatives out there. To start with, though, they'll do just fine.
The top of the razor has a butterfly action head. This means that the razor is held down by two doors, which lift and open up when the handle base is twisted. This system is great for a couple of reasons – firstly, it makes it very simple to change blades without hurting yourself and secondly, it contains the sides of the blade so you don't have to worry about catching them on your cheek. The only issue we encountered was that sometimes it was possible to accidentally unscrew the handle whilst shaving, which was annoying, to say the least.
This razor is very mild, meaning that not very much of the blade is visible (there's just 0.022" of space between the blade and the razor head). This means that it doesn't cut you unless you're doing something wrong and is much less harsh on your skin than your standard cartridge razor. As a result, it's great for people with sensitive skin or who are prone to razor burn.
At 2.5 ounces, it's one of the lightest razors in this list, but it's still heavy enough that you don't have to press down hard to see the results. With such a low weight, this razor is fantastic for taking on the road with you and since it's so small, you can fit it into any old travel bag with no problems whatsoever.
In short, the WEISHI offers a fantastic shave but isn't too hard on your skin. It's attractive, lightweight and even comes with some blades to tide you over, so for under $20, you can get started immediately with no additional investment. As with all safety razors, it will take a bit of time to get used to, but once you have, you'll never go back.
- Very inexpensive
- Includes five blades
- Very mild shave - great for sensitive skin
- Butterfly action
- Pretty light, so some pressure needed
- Handle can be unscrewed while in use
Merkur Long Handled Safety Razor (MK 23C) – Best Safety Razor for Novices
Merkur Long Handled Safety Razor (MK 23C) – Best Safety Razor for Novices
The Merkur MK 23C has long been viewed as the gold standard for budget safety razors. It's an attractive, German made model that is as precise and novice-friendly as they come, and as a bonus, it's very inexpensive, with a price tag under $30.
This razor is four inches long and has a stunning chrome finish which really makes it look more expensive than it is. The handle is 3.75" long and has a textured, non-slip surface so you don't have to worry about dropping it if it gets wet, although if this happens, we'd advise drying it off once you're done since it has a tendency to rust. The long handle allows for a very precise shave and helps to get those otherwise awkward areas.
This razor weighs 3.95 ounces, so it's heavier than most. This has its advantages, though: firstly, a heavier razor requires less pressure to cut hair, so you can just let the weight do the work for you, and secondly, it just feels better to hold if the razor has some heft to it. Unfortunately, if you have a heavy razor and gravity isn't on your side (for example, when you're shaving under the chin), your results will be a little sloppy until you get the hang of using it properly, at which point, this problem disappears.
This is what's called a "three-piece" razor, meaning it consists of a handle, removable head and of course, the blade. To replace the blade, you have to unscrew the top and insert it into the head. Unlike the butterfly system, this is a little more involved and you have to pay attention to what you're doing if you don't want to hurt yourself. This method does tend to hold the razor blade more securely than a butterfly head would, however.
The blades used in this model are double sided, so they last twice as long, and with each side good for up to 5 shaves, that's a week and a half per blade, if you shave every day. The MK 23C only comes with one Merkur razor blade, so we recommend buying some more with your purchase, especially since they're often far, far less expensive to buy online than in a supermarket or drugstore.
The MK 23C is a stable headed (or non-adjustable) razor. This means that the blade is fixed in place and can't be moved for a more aggressive shave, and while this might seem like a disadvantage, it's not, for a couple of reasons. Primarily, this is a beginner's safety razor – it's inexpensive and is intended to help ease you into the world of wet shaving, and for that reason, the simpler the construction, the better. What's worse than a product that cuts your face? One that gives you the option to cut it more efficiently.
The second reason is that since the blade is fixed in place, you get the exact shave that the manufacturers intended. It's a pretty mild razor, so it's not prone to tugging or scraping and as a result, is great for people with sensitive skin or an unsteady hand. Sure, it takes some time to get used to the weight and find the perfect shaving angle, but once you get it, it's like riding a bike – you'll never forget.
- Very inexpensive
- Almost no pressure required
- Mild razor - great for sensitive skin
- Perfect for beginners
- Only one blade included
- Non-adjustable
VIKINGS BLADE The Chieftain Safety Razor – Best Intermediate Safety Razor
VIKINGS BLADE The Chieftain Safety Razor – Best Intermediate Safety Razor
If you can look past the overly macho branding and marketing hype, you'll find that The Chieftain safety razor by VIKINGS BLADE is actually a pretty good product. Retailing at just under $40, it's a high-quality, butterfly action razor that won't let you down.
It's made of an alloy made from Swedish bronze and brass, coated with stainless steel. Practically, this means it's very shiny, although you'd do well to dry it off after use if you'd like to keep it this way, since stainless steel does tend to rust. Maybe consider investing in a razor stand instead of leaving it in the shower – it is a pretty expensive razor, after all, so if you treat it well, it'll do the same for you.
VIKINGS BLADE claim that their butterfly system allows for a 5-second blade change, and, in theory, that's entirely possible if you approach shaving the same way a pit crew approach a racing car. We'd recommend taking your time to minimise the risk of injuring yourself, but also because it helps to reinforce the idea that you're taking a few minutes out of your day to do something nice for yourself. The butterfly is opened by twisting the end of the handle and holds the blades firmly, with no wiggling, which is great.
The blades which this model use are double-edged, so you can use them twice as much before they need to be replaced. This razor is considered semi-aggressive, so if you learn to control it, it can provide a closer shave than the models above can manage, although there will be a little more finesse required. There's also a micro-comb system that helps guide hairs to the blade for minimal resistance when shaving.
As this is a fixed head razor, the blade distance cannot be adjusted. This means that you'll get a consistent shave from week to week as long as you replace the blades regularly. Whilst it may take you a while to fully adjust to using a semi-aggressive razor, it's the perfect way to bridge the gap between a mild razor and an adjustable one, if that's something you'd like to try down the line.
This razor measures 3.74" long, making it the smallest we've reviewed so far. Some people prefer the finer control that a long handled razor provides, but others prefer the more comfortable alternatives. If you have small hands or find that long handles are too awkward to use, a short handled razor might be what you need, and the Chieftain is a great place to start. It weighs just 2.45 ounces, so it's the lightest razor in this list, which really drives home the message that this is intended to be taken with you as you travel. To this end, there are a couple of added extras that come free when you purchase this razor.
As well as the razor, VIKINGS BLADE has added five blades to get you started and a leatherette suede case that opens up to reveal a travel sized mirror. Whilst you'll want to avoid shaving using this mirror for feedback due to its small size, it'll do in a pinch. The case, like the razor, is pretty small and can be easily fit into a toiletry bag (just don't forget your shaving foam).
- Short handle is very comfortable to use
- Includes blades and travel case
- Quick blade change
- Very lightweight
- Macho branding might put some people off
- Non-adjustable
Merkur Futur Adjustable Safety Razor – Best Adjustable Safety Razor for Experienced Users
Merkur Futur Adjustable Safety Razor – Best Adjustable Safety Razor for Experienced Users
Take one look at the Merkur Futur and there's a good chance you'll immediately love it or hate it. The space-age inspired design is a throwback to the late 50's and 60's where chrome was king and sleek, smooth edges were the order of the day. For what it's worth, we found the design to be attractive, although certain aspects of this razor make us suspect that Merkur has forgotten the old adage "form follows function".
Firstly, the grip leaves a lot to be desired – whilst its competitors rely on textured surfaces to increase friction, the Futur has a chrome finish and is smooth all over, with a small indent for your thumb. This makes the razor prone to slipping, especially when wet, so it's important to really take your time when using this to shave and even more so in the shower.
This razor does have an adjustable blade, so it's more versatile than any of the others we've seen so far. There are six settings to choose from (adjusted by twisting the top of the handle), with the lower settings exposing less of the blade and changing the angle. The lowest setting is more aggressive than most other safety razors, however, so you'd do well to familiarise yourself with it before taking it for a spin.
To change the blade, you have to unclip the top part in order to gain access. We can't stress this enough – be careful, this part can be dangerous if you don't keep a close eye on the blade at all times. We'd really have preferred a safer option like a butterfly or even a screw off system, but this is why it's so important to stress that this is not a beginner's razor. It's intended for experienced users, ideally, those who've used various different safety razors in the past, and so we can't recommend it for a novice.
The Merkur Futur is the exact same length as the VIKINGS BLADE Chieftain at 3.74", and as such, it offers the same level of comfort and precision that model does, however it is considerably heavier at 4.2 ounces, meaning that a lot less pressure is needed – if you press as hard as you would with the Chieftain, you'll likely cut yourself, so just use the lightest touch possible and let the weight of the razor do the work for you. The head of the razor is quite wide though, so initially, it can be a little difficult to get the right angle in tight spaces, for example, when shaving under your nose. Give it time, though, and you'll get it.
At first glance, it looks like there are a lot of criticisms for this model, but actually, whilst it can be tough to get the hang of and unforgiving to novice wet shavers, these features are what make it so valuable. The adjustable head and heavy frame make it a powerful and versatile razor that will grow as you do, ensuring you never need to upgrade to something more substantial. Ultimately, it's a high-quality tool that requires skill to use – we don't blame the hammer when we miss the nail, right? If we did have to single out a main issue, however, it'd be the price. It's not super expensive and is actually pretty low-cost for an adjustable razor, but for around $60, we'd have loved to have seen a decent grip included, at least.
- Short handle for maximum comfort
- Adjustable
- Attractive, futuristic design
- Very little pressure needed
- More aggressive than most
- Has a steep learning curve
Merkur Progress – Best Budget Adjustable Safety Razor
Merkur Progress – Best Budget Adjustable Safety Razor
Another entry from Merkur, the Progress seeks to remedy some of the criticisms levelled at the Futur, specifically the blade replacement method which was annoying at best and the level of aggression which has been significantly toned down in this model, at least on the lower settings.
Like the Futur, the Progress is an adjustable safety razor with five different settings to choose from. The lower settings provide a much milder shave than the higher ones and as a result, this razor is much more beginner friendly than the previous model was, whilst managing to satisfy the needs of people who are looking for a closer shave.
This razor is coated almost entirely with a chrome finish, except for a small beige/cream coloured knob at the end of the handle which is made of hardened plastic. This is what you turn in order to change the amount of blade showing and if you turn it all the way to the left, the top of the razor head comes away from the handle allowing for quick, simple and most importantly, safe blade replacement. This is a mechanically simple system and as a result, it should last for a very long time, plus the hard plastic/chrome body ensure that the razor will survive a drop, even onto a hard surface.
An interesting and useful aspect of this razor is the inclusion of blade alignment notches on the head. These let you know if you've inserted the blade properly and help ensure a symmetrical and even level of blade exposure. This way, you'll have an even shave all over, which is all you can really ask for. Unfortunately, there's no kind of grip on the handle at all, so it's important to make sure that you have a firm grasp of it whilst shaving – you could attach a piece of anti-slip tape, but this does sort of ruin the overall aesthetic of the razor.
The weight has been slightly reduced too, at 4 ounces vs the Futur's 4.2. Practically, this doesn't really make much of a difference – it's still a heavy razor and so you only need to apply a light touch. It's also a tiny bit longer, at 4". We feel that this razor strikes the perfect balance between weight and length – it offers precise control and feels great in your hand, and the fact that it costs less than $80 is an added bonus.
When you purchase this razor, Merkur also throw in ten blades and a carry case. Ten blades is a pretty decent amount and given that they're double sided, that means that up to 100 shaves which are provided at no added cost. Think about it, that's three months if you shave every day and almost a year if you shave once every three days. The carry case is pretty basic though – it's made of clear plastic and resembles the kind of case a screwdriver set would arrive in. It does the job though, even if it's not great looking.
Overall, we really like this razor. It's a marked step up from the Futur and is a lot more forgiving to novices thanks to its milder shave on lower settings and safer blade replacement system. It even includes a way to make sure you've inserted the new blade properly, so you can make sure the blade is evenly exposed. Whilst it is slightly more expensive, the included blades save you money in the short term, and we're confident that this product will pay for itself in the long term since once you have this, you'll never go back to disposable razors.
- Mild shave on low settings
- Strikes the perfect balance between length and weight
- Includes ten replacement blades
- Alignment notches are very useful to novices
- No handle grip
- Slightly expensive
Feather All Model AS-D2 – Best Luxury Safety Razor
Feather All Model AS-D2 – Best Luxury Safety Razor
Sometimes you want more than just a really good razor. All of the models we've discussed above are great, but share a common attribute: a low-cost construction. The Feather All Model AS-D2 is a more expensive safety razor, and for good reason – it's precision machined and designed to last for decades if you treat it half as well as it treats you.
The body is made entirely of polished stainless steel and measures at just 3.5", making it the smallest razor in this list. The short handle might take some getting used to, but once you do, you'll notice that this model is pretty well balanced, in no small part due to its reasonable heft. The AS-D2 weighs 3.1 ounces, so it's heavier than most razors this size, which means that it requires less pressure than its competitors. The handle has an attractive textured surface for increased grip and stability, so there's less chance of dropping it mid-shave, even when wet.
This razor uses double edged blades and Feather has included five of their own high-quality ones to tide you over for a little while. This lets you see what a premium razor blade feels like before you go to the store and pick up the same budget replacement razors you always have. Plus, if you prefer the less expensive blades, at least you can say you gave the Feather blades a shot.
Construction-wise, this is a three piece razor. When the handle is unscrewed, the top of the razor head comes apart to reveal the blade, minimising the amount of time your fingers need to be near an exposed razor, which is great.
This is a stable headed razor, so it's not adjustable. We know that this can seem like a bitter pill to swallow, given the price, but think of it this way: would you rather have a slightly higher than average quality adjustable razor, or the best stable razor around? This razor is Japanese made and Feather really seem to have paid attention to both aesthetics and functionality when creating it – because there are no moving parts, maintenance is as simple as wiping it down when you're finished with it to prevent rusting. To keep it clean, you might want to invest in a razor stand, but if not, even putting it in a simple mug will keep it free from soap scum.
The shave you get from this model is pretty mild, so it's simple for a novice to pick up and get started with – this makes the AS-D2 a fantastic gift since you don't need years of wet shaving experience to use it safely. It is, of course, possible to get a more aggressive shave by changing the angle of contact, so if you find it a little too mild for your liking, you just have to find the sweet spot for your beard.
All things considered, the Feather All Model AS-D2 is an amazing, travel sized safety razor. Whilst we realise that not everyone can commit this much money to a razor, but if you can, you'll find it to be both forgiving and indispensable. It's a high-quality, well-built razor that looks fantastic and provides a shave that most other stable headed models just can't rival – this isn't an expensive trinket, it's an investment in yourself.
- Very mild shave
- Gorgeous appearance
- Includes five high-end replacement blades
- Exceptional build quality
- Expensive
Best Safety Razor - Buyer's Guide
Safety razors can be pretty intimidating, right? Luckily, they're actually pretty simple to compare when you know what to look for, which is why we've created a brief guide to the most important specifications to compare when shopping for a new one. This should give you a pretty good idea as to which is the best razor for your needs and prevent buyer's regret down the line.
Head type
There are two types of safety razor heads: adjustable and stable. A stable head is the type you'll find on a standard cartridge razor – a small amount of the blade is showing and this cannot be changed. Often these are aimed at beginners, since it's less likely that you'll cut yourself with a stable head, however, experienced wet shavers may find their lack of versatility annoying.
These people will likely prefer an adjustable head – these allow you to change the amount of blade which is exposed for a more aggressive shave. This means that, in theory, you can tame even the most persistent stubble, however, care must be taken to avoid problems like nicks or razor burn.
Essentially, there are three kinds of blade replacement systems. The first is the butterfly top – this uses two doors to secure the blade in place. These doors can be opened outwards (like a butterfly's wings) to release the blade, ensuring that you don't have to grab the razor to replace it.
The second kind is a clip system. This requires you to pry the top of the razor off, which can be dangerous if you aren't paying full attention. These tend to be on razors more targeted towards expert users, so we'd recommend avoiding them if you're just starting out.
The third type is the most common and is similar to the clip system, but more novice-friendly. The top screws off when you turn the handle a certain way, offering the same benefits as the butterfly system but with less moving parts and a tighter grip on the blade.
Length and weight
Long handles offer a more precise shave, but some people just find short handled razors to be easier to use and more comfortable to hold. Really, there's no right or wrong length and in time, you'll likely find one which you prefer. Many safety razors have interchangeable handles too, so you can always switch it out for one that's more to your liking.
Weight is more important though, at least in the short term. A very little razor is going to rely mostly on the pressure that you apply in order to cut hair, whereas a heavy one requires a much softer touch – almost no pressure at all, in fact. The weight of the razor head does most of the work for you. The first time you use a new razor, it's important to take the weight into account and use the lightest possible touch, increasing pressure until you find the sweet spot.
You'll often hear people talk about mild or aggressive razors. Simply put, a mild razor is one which is easy on your skin – often because there isn't a lot of blade showing, or because the blade is almost flat, whereas an aggressive razor either has more blade exposed or a steeper angle. An aggressive razor can provide a smoother shave in the hands of an expert, but also increases the risk of razor burn and cuts if you aren't used to it yet.
These are just a couple of factors, of course, and blade aggression has a number of variables. If you're interested in reading more about this, there's a fantastic little article here.
Every razor we've shown you today is great in its own way, however, there's one which we find particularly outstanding. The Merkur Progress is a very beginner-friendly razor that not only looks great but offers a shave tailored to your exact specifications. It's a great little razor that only grows more versatile as you gain experience.
We hope that this article has helped demystify wet shaving a little bit, and with a bit of luck, you might even have found a safety razor that you like. We appreciate your feedback too, so if you've found this list helpful, we'd ask you to consider leaving a rating or a comment since it'd really help us out. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and have a great day.

I like how your garden is laid out in sections and paths in between. I tried to grow my beans on "teepes" the last couple years but here in KY they get too thick half way and further up. or maybe I put in too many seeds. I like your trellis idea.

Cross post: Firedoglake.
Above: KingCast vintage video: Schooling the government on a First Amendment case of State v. Doyle, 1998. To those of you just now reading this blog, I almost never lose a First Amendment issue, and even the one I lost in another State v. Doyle case allowed him to speak before City Council, something that had been denied without Just Cause for 8 months or so. And in Michael Isreal's case he told a cop he was racist and took a beat down, we won in criminal court and sued in Federal Court and after that I got the cops found to have made him a victim of violent crime, V96-61481 search it. Or you can see it here with more vintage KingCast video involving Mr. Isreal on a Jury walk.
I cover murder trials including the Revere Dan Talbot Murder and large circulation papers use my photos.
And of course in Nashua, NH City Attorney Bennett found me (and Alderman Teeboom, a conservative white male and friend of mine) to be correct in the Julia Earl (what a loser) Unconstitutional speech restrictions, read the Telegraph coverage and watch a John McCain LE body slam of AZ protester Liz Hourican. Then Mayor Streeter gave me a First Amendment Mayoral Commendation.
Boston writer Casey Sherman just finished the screenplay adaptation of "Bad Blood: Freedom and Death in the White Mountains, and Casey, retired Franconia/Sugar Hill LE Bradford Whipple all agree that former NH AG and U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Ayotte conducted no real investigation into the actions of Gregory Floyd in the Franconia shooting tragedy, watch a video about that, Hollywood movie coming soon.
My blog is called Chris King's 1st Amendment Page for a reason. It is largely a walk through my life as someone who has worked for large newspapers, tried Civil Rights cases, put up a bunch of wireless towers and who is now a video journalist on his own, sometimes contributing to larger press, including WBZ, watch that feature on the record Scott Hyman $1.7M Anti-Semitic trial, where I rap with other media at co-Plaintiff Scott & Julie Prescott's Lakeville/Hemlock Association home.
Lastly, Officer Hargreaves was civil toward me, yes, but he also watched Karen Thoman strike my camera before using her paperwork as a shield, and instead of admonishing her, he admonished me, you didn't mention that in your story. You and I have quaffed some beers, Sir and you know me to be a reasonable man.
Here then are the complaints:
Any reasonable person can learn a lot here, and I watch my tracker, many of them do just that.
As to the story, Here it is, more on this later. Just read it, on the move.

The most common way for Trainees to get started is via an email invitation to a Course. When they click on the link in their email, they will be asked to set their password.
Note that passwords must contain at least 8 characters: one uppercase, one lowercase letter, a number, and a special character (!@#$).
They can then use this email and password combination to access their online training.
If they already have a Mindflash account but don't remember their password, it can be reset following these steps.
Slide Navigation
Once they are in their Course, they can use these controls:
1. This is the right paddle which will take them to the next slide in the Module
2. This is the "drawer" which brings up the slides in the course. It allows them to easily review the content. They cannot jump ahead to content they have not viewed.
3. If the trainer has enabled this option, Trainees will be able to send a message to the course trainer.
Video Content
If they view a video or a slide with animation or audio, they will see additional player controls below:
1. This is the "Pause" and "Play" toggle button.
2. This is the "Mute" and "Unmute" toggle button.
3. This restarts the video from the beginning
4. Shows them which quality the video is playing in and allows them to change it. By default, we show the highest quality stream possible.
5. Enables full-screen mode.
If quizzes are included, the quiz page will show the number of questions in the quiz and the number of tries each question allows.
There are six different question types, each with its own distinctive look and ways to select the correct answer.
If the response is correct, there will be a green check mark. They can move forward by clicking on the right paddle to continue.
If the response is incorrect, it will be indicated as such by the color red. If multiple attempts has been enabled they will see the option to try again. Once submitted, if Show Correct Answers is enabled the option to see the correct answer will appear.
Note: If there is a handout associated with the Module, this will be available in one of three areas.
- Trainee Dashboard, which can be accessed by clicking on the House Icon
- Introduction slide (First Slide) of the Module
- Recap slide (Final Slide) of the module

Symptoms of Statin Overdose
The specific symptoms of a statin overdose can vary, depending on a number of factors, including the statin dosage and whether it was taken with any other medications or substances. Seek immediate medical attention if you or someone else may have taken too much of a statin drug. An overdose can potentially be lethal.
It is reasonable to expect that an overdose would likely cause any of the usual statin side effects. Among the more serious symptoms of a statin overdose that could occur include:
- Liver damage
- Kidney failure
- Serious breakdown of muscle (known as rhabdomyolysis).
If the overdose was recent, a healthcare provider may "pump the stomach" or administer certain medications to induce vomiting. Treatment may also involve supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose.
(Click Statin Overdose for a more in-depth look at possible overdose symptoms, including information on available treatment options.)

Gestimate - an educated guess about the installation cost of your flooring project based on the information you provide me over the phone, through text or email.
Nothing is completely free. What I offer at no upfront cost is something I call a Gestimate. The more thorough and detailed the information you provide me, over the phone, through email or text, the more accurate I can be in determining the cost of your project and/or how you might go about approaching a floor problem.
If you'd like me to travel to your home to measure and inspect your space and consult with you on project specifics - I do charge an upfront trip fee based on the distance I need to travel. Currently, trip fees range from $20 to $80 and are dynamically related to fuel prices. This fee basically covers my cost to operate my vehicle and a small amount for my travel time.
You may use the paid trip fee as a credit towards a contract with me on that specific project.

The Royal Shakespeare Company's production of 'The Tragedy of King Lear' was a mixture of theatricality and raw emotion, all of which combined to show Lear's descent from fool to madman.
Briefly, the plot revolves around Lear giving his lands to his two daughters, Regan and Goneril, but refusing to give his favourite daughter, Cordelia, her land as she says that her love is beyond words: a notion that does not sit well with the imagery-conscious Lear. She is banished to her marriage with the King of France, but Lear soon realises his other daughters mean to overthrow him, causing his descent into madness.
Although Greg Hicks was a fantastic King Lear, I think more praise is due to Sophie Russell (the Fool), Katy Stephens (Regan) and Charles Aitken (Edgar), who were superb in their supporting roles and were major driving forces behind the performance. The Fool's unerring dedication to Lear was one of the most heartfelt aspects of the play, reaching its climax when Lear stood in the rain and the Fool is weeping at his feet, symbolising the movement of Lear from master to the pity of fools. Equally, Regan showed the passion behind the sisters' plans to dethrone their father, providing the motivation and weaving seamlessly amongst the other characters to manipulate and devastate them. Finally, Aitken's performance as Edgar/Poor Tom was brilliant to watch, as he shifted between guises his devotion to his father, Gloucester, and his rise from the ashes was performed spectacularly and without losing the credulity of Edgar's compromised position.
There were times when the play felt versed: Cordelia, in particular, spoke as if she were reciting a poem, as opposed to acting the words, leaving her more of a representative figure as opposed to a human character. Some of the minor cast members also did this, but it definitely did not detract from the impact of the play.
Greg Hicks' performance as the troubled King was amazing. He was able to dissemble from upright King and leader to downtrodden madman convincingly, and prompted a few laughs which underlined the extent of his descent into lunacy. Clearly well-rehearsed in Shakespearean acting, Hicks was able to manipulate Lear's language to ensure that, despite his original folly, he was abused, which was complemented perfectly by Poor Tom's feigned madness and Kent's unwavering dedication despite the King's misjudgement.
The theatrical elements were absolutely brilliant. The rain upon King Lear was a perfect way to both close the first half, and show the beginning of his descent into madness, perfectly setting up the shift to instability in the second half of the performance. However, the best staging came when Gloucester's double life was exposed, and his eyes were plucked out as punishment: despite knowing it was coming, the inference of the action was still a squeamish affair, and maintained the pace of the performance despite the potential for the gruesome act to be mis-played and appear overly-fake or over-dramatised.
'King Lear' ended heartbreakingly, with the death of all three sisters at each other's hands, whether directly or indirectly, highlighting the extremity of Lear's mistake. The stage held five bodies at the ending, each one representing something lost, whilst Edgar's closing speech was able to show that the wounds of the previous generation were the building blocks of the new generation, complimenting the devastation with a glimmer of hope in the rebuilding of an empire. The play was beautifully crafted to show the ease of transition from foolishness to full madness, and successfully showed the depths of Lear's journey without losing its credibility.

Review by The Secret Screener
In this visually thrilling coming-of-age tale, seventeen-year-old Ayoub (Ayoub Elasri) has a lot on his plate: his father is a junkie, his mother is a lonely divorcé, and his sister is falling in with the wrong crowd. Haunted by his father's terrible reputation, Ayoub can't get the attention of Laura, the most beautiful girl in the neighborhood. He does, however, gain the attention of Kalpa, an eccentric, purple Lamborghini-driving, psychotically violent local criminal. Falling in with Kalpa, Ayoub tries to enlarge his status (and his wallet) enough to win Laura over, but soon finds that his new life is far more than he bargained for.
This was a interesting film in the aspect that you see everything happening in a week for Ayoub. Honestly I walked in to this film knowing nothing. I walked out scratching my head going "What the hell did I just watch?"
If you are in to art house fare, this is for you. If you want a film with a clear story and definitive ending don't bother with "Prince" Out of 5 stars I give it one. Ok watch, If I knew what I was getting in to I would have passed.

Real Wedding – Monochrome Beach Wedding Bali
Farrah & Shamus ♥ Bali, Indonesia
Photographer: PhotoFactory Bali
Bright and bold weddings have been a huge hit this year and they make for a very colourful affair, but when you stumble across a classic all-white or magical monochrome soiree like today's elegant beach ceremony, you can't help but fall in love with chic black and white tones.
Farrah and Shamus chose Bali for their destination wedding, and it's not hard to see why. What could be more romantic than saying 'I do' on bleached-white sands, the glorious sun beaming overhead and a slight ocean breeze? Even just thinking about it makes me want to hop on the next flight out to this tropical paradise!
Farrah says:
"When it came to planning our special day, we wanted to do something a little different so we decided a destination wedding in Bali would be perfect. The flights and accommodation costs for guests was very affordable from Western Australia and Northern Territory, Australia (where most of our close friends and family live) and we gave everyone more than a year's notice to prepare."
Real Wedding – Romantic Fairytale Wedding Bali
Emma & Brady ♥ Bali, Indonesia
Photographer: PhotoFactory Bali
If ever there were a wedding fit for a fairy princess, then it would be today's sunlit soiree in Bali, captured to perfection by PhotoFactory Bali.
Emma and Brady's love story began when they met at just seventeen, giving Emma plenty of time to dream the bridal dream and form the vision of their perfect destination day.
Soft pastel petals and twinkling fairy lights decorated the day, along with a vintage twist to their pretty personal touches. The bridesmaids sparkled in the sunshine in sequined dresses, sporting elegant updo's, and of course the bride stole the show in a fairytale-esque, bespoke bridal gown fashioned with romantic ruffles.
The stunning ocean-view Bali venue gave them the happy ever after ceremony they both wished-for and a fairytale wedding that they'll never forget…
Real Wedding – We Both Thought Of Bali
Missy & Murray ♥ Bali, Indonesia
Photographer: PhotoFactory Bali
Missy and Murray both had Bali in mind as their perfect destination wedding location long before they were even engaged, proving that they were made for each other and that Bali was the perfect fit.
After travelling the island of Bali together on holiday, the couple chose the tropical paradise (and surfing hotspot) of Bingin Beach for their nuptials. Mick's Place was the venue of choice as it offers the ultimate Bali getaway; secluded bungalow accommodations with infinity pools are situated on top of a cliff with uninterrupted vistas of the vast Indian Ocean – amazing!
They kept their wedding theme simple and let the venue and the views do the talking – one of the distinct advantages of getting married abroad is that the location delivers the 'wow' factor.
Missy says:
"We chose Bali as both of us had been there separately. When we were first dating, we had a conversation that started with, Bride: 'I'm not thinking of getting married, but IF we did, I have a place in mind.' Groom: 'Oh really…I actually have a place in mind too…if we ever got married.' We both thought of Bali. Then we vacationed there a year later, touring the island by scooter and living out of a small backpack. It was there that we planted the seed. Bali was the perfect place for us because the people are so genuine, with deep smiles that come from their souls. Of course it's beautiful offering diving, hiking, and many picturesque activities as well."
"We both were inspired by the culture and people of Bali. We knew in this place with such acceptance and love of others we could truly be ourselves. We had Balinese Prince Dewa and his wife Kartika help officiate our most beautiful ceremony. We wanted our guests to feel the culture of Bali and they did. The Prince brought a native Hawaiian flute, an African horn, his amazing chanting and grounding voice, and special offerings as a symbol of our ceremony. It took place on a 300foot cliff-side overlooking an amazing surfers playground (the Indian Ocean) with the most killer sunset."
Real Wedding – Traditional Balinese Wedding Ceremony
Jasmine & Chris ♥ Bali, Indonesia
Photographer: Windee Winata – PhotoFactory Bali
There's so much to love about this intimate elopement; not only did it take place in a luxury boutique hotel in blissful Bali with a traditional Balinese wedding ceremony overlooking the beach but Jasmine the bride wowed her hubby-to-be in a stunning, strapless Monique Lhuillier gown – serious dress envy!
Jasmine says:
"We are natives of the San Francisco Bay Area in California and originally envisioned having a big traditional wedding in Santa Barbara, California at the end of the summer. With all the stresses of wedding planning, and the various expenses adding up, we decided to be selfish on our special day, and make the celebration truly about the two of us. Upon giving it much thought, we decided to move our wedding up six months, and get married in March 2013, rather than September 2013. As you may know, it's quite cold and rainy in San Francisco during that time of year."
Real Wedding – Beachside Boho Bliss In Bali
Amity & Alex ♥ Bali, Indonesia
Photographer: Windee Winata – PhotoFactory Bali
This blissful beachside wedding is boho chic at its best – with delicate flower crowns, floaty bridesmaid dresses in nearly nude hues and an effortlessly beautiful boho bride.
Amity and Alex chose Bali as their destination wedding location – possibly the most perfect setting for a boho beach wedding!
A relaxed reception with family-style dining added to the informal yet-oh-so-elegant feel of the day. Tables were filled to bursting with flowers, vintage birdcages, Balinese gifts for the guests, and of course a plentiful supply of twinkling candle light and low-slung lanterns, whilst Moroccan leather pouffes provided chill-out areas to gaze at the stunning sunset and enjoy the bonfire party that ended the evening.
Amity says:
"Neither of us are very religious so a church wedding was never an option. Bali is a special place to both of us and before we met we had always thought we would get married there…I saw a wedding on a photography blog I follow and just knew I had to get married on that beach!"
"We sent out of invitations quite early to give our guests plenty of notice to start saving! The invite contained a small information booklet on Bali with tips and suggestions for where to book accommodation. It also had a RSVP postcard with song requests as a part of it – these in addition to the actual invitation, were bound in lace and twine."
Real Wedding – I've Had The Time Of My Life In Bali
Nicole & Mark ♥ Bali, Indonesia
Photographer: PhotoFactory Bali
Nicole and Mark tied the knot at the secluded and luxurious Villa Sanctus in Bali. The breathtaking venue perched on a clifftop wows guests with unobstructed views of the brilliant blue sky and the crystal-clear Indian Ocean below. All eyes however were on the elegant bride Nicole, as she dazzled in a stylish sequin gown that shimmered in the Balinese sunlight.
The couple's first dance was to the Dirty Dancing hit "Time of My Life" and yes, they rocked the dance floor for their guests by reenacting the moves including the epic lift! The song was a great choice as it seems to perfectly sum up their beautiful Bali wedding day.
Nicole says:
"We had friends from all over the world attend our wedding – London, Denmark, Oman, Vietnam and all over Australia. We all stayed at the Nusa Dua Hotel & Spa for a few days before the wedding so we could catch up with everyone and enjoy Bali by the pool with a few cocktails."
"On the day of the wedding we transported our guests to the Villa Sanctus where we had the wedding (the bridal party got ready at the Villa). My groom spent the whole day coordinating the set up – poor thing! At 3.30pm our guests arrived and at 4pm we walked down the aisle."

text: Myerson follows up her acclaimed debut (Sleepwalking, 1995) with a similarly detailed study of family distress and dysfunction- -but this time there's a wild card: An unbalanced evangelist who inserts himself into the family's unstable dynamic, with catastrophic consequences. Frank Chapman is a bloody, sorry mess when Donna, her lover Will, and her sister Gayle find him semiconscious in a London park. The three get him to the hospital where Gayle works; and as the old widower recovers, she is both attracted to him and repelled; Inexplicably, he knows all about lovely Donna's twisted spine, which makes every day a painful trial for her, and he's certain that he can cure her. In time, Gayle is persuaded to let him try, and when Will is brought around too, Donna agrees to give it a shot. The faith healing works, and overnight Donna finds a new lust for life; she can't bring herself, however, to feel grateful to the unwashed, bizarre old man who made it possible. Gayle and Will visit Frank regularly to show their gratitude, even though they also find him difficult; as time passes, the two begin to take pleasure in each other's company, while Will and Donna become ever more estranged. During a family seaside vacation, complete with the sisters' mum, their brother Simon (a shiftless sponger with an unnatural affection for Gayle), and Frank, Gayle and Will's repressed passions emerge; they start an affair that continues back in London, even after Donna becomes pregnant. Frank, cut loose and left to fend for himself, festers in his own dark passions and memories, until a chance encounter with Will turns him from a healer for Jesus into an Old Testament avenger. Honest characterization and a flair for exposing family failings work as well here as before--and even if the portrayal of the outsider ultimately becomes heavy-handed, Myerson is clearly adept at chronicling the wrenching doubts at work in even the most intimate relations.
