What is a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL)?
If you as a company director feel that your company is suffering from insolvency then seeking advice regarding a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) may be the best first step.
A CVL is a formal insolvency process used to close a company that has reached a position of insolvency.
This is a director-led process which sees directors taking control of their insolvent company by entering it into a CVL.
This voluntary liquidation will give the director more flexibility over the process then if they were to be wound-up via the court. Liquidation means that the company will cease trading, assets will be realised and sold, and there may or may not be distribution to creditors from the sale of the assets.
A CVL can also be used as a business rescue process by giving the directors the opportunity to purchase the assets and goodwill of the business with the hope of opening up a new company.
CVL as a business rescue option
Within a CVL process there will be an opportunity for the directors to purchase the assets and goodwill of the business with the purpose of them re-opening it under a new company name.
This is how a CVL process can help rescue a business from full closure liquidation.
Some Warning Signs of Insolvency
- Creditors threatening legal action to retrieve funds owed
- The company has been put on stop by a supplier
- The director has not taken a salary for a few months due to the lack of available funds
- The company is unable to receive further credit
How to test insolvency
- The Cash Flow Test: The company are unable to make payments as and when they fall due
- The Balance Sheet Test: The company's liabilities outweigh their assets on an up-to-date balance sheet of the company
A CVL is appropriate when….
- The company is insolvent
- The company is not viable for a business rescue process
- The directors do not want to accrue any further liabilities to creditors by trading insolvently
What happens to any assets left in a company?
It is the appointed Liquidator's job to get any remaining assets of a company valued by a third party agent and then sell the assets in order to realise the funds.
All funds realised from the sale of the company assets will be utilised within the liquidation and then distributed to creditors in the order laid down within the Insolvency Act 1986.

AH, the glorious long days of summer.
Bumbling bees, deckchairs, picnics, sunshine – and showers – the heady smell of cut grass, the buzz of lawnmowers, flowers in the garden, time with family and friends and, as a foodie, the beautiful harvest of summer fruit and vegetables.
Summer soft fruits are at their peak now and to me they are one of the treasures of the season.
I'm lucky enough to have a little garden and grow a few strawberries and raspberries, though too few to make a jam from them. Not that they'd last long enough, they are normally eaten before they've made it into the house.
It's a great shame that only a few varieties of the summer berries and currants make it to the shops. They are succulent, delicious and bursting with vitamin C. The supermarkets only really stock strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, the others are neglected. Fortunately you can source other varieties in our independent shops such as Rigby's in town, the Walton Lea Project and at Kenyon Hall Farm in Croft who grow an amazing selection.
At the fabulous Stockton Heath Festival a couple of weeks ago I was positioned next to the Kenyon Hall Farm stand which brimmed over with the spoils of summer plenty.
Gooseberries, red, white and black currants, blackberries, tayberries (a divine cross between a raspberry and a blackberry), apricots and of course many delicious varieties of plums. It really is worth seeking these out if you have never tried any of them.
Another summer joy is the fruit that is available for free.
There are a couple of damson bushes that grow wild near to my home that I plunder every year. I adore their glorious, bittersweet flavour and am excited that they will be ripe for picking soon.
Sloes (a smaller astringent relative of the damson) will be ripe in September.
Though impossible to eat they make a delicious sloe gin ready in time for Christmas.
My favourite activity though is brambling. The bramble is a wild blackberry with a more intense flavour than the cultivated variety, they have more seeds and lots more vitamin C. I cannot walk past these luscious fruits without picking them. It's an addictive, relaxing and quite mindful activity. Golden rules to observe when foraging – never pick from too low on the ground (for obvious reasons), be careful as the thorns can be lethal, don't trespass or go climbing trees and just pick fruits that are firm and ripe. If you aren't sure of what you are picking, leave it alone. If the fruits are 'blousy' the likelihood is that the flies and wasps have been there first.
Always wash the fruit and, as an extra precaution, soak your brambles in salted water for half an hour as it will kill off any nasties which will float to the top, then rinse in clean water. It's then just a case of what to do with your summer riches and how to preserve your taste of summer.
Brambles freeze well – freeze them in a layer on a baking sheet before bagging as they'll stay separate – or make jams or chutneys.
At Room Forty I can only use sourced, cultivated, fruits in the preserves that I sell, so my family and friends benefit from my foraging exploits.
Making a chutney is easy and plums make a gorgeous chutney.
Finally, I'd like to say good luck to SaRnies who have just opened in Grappenhall and Great Sankey. They are a wonderful new sandwich and catering business passionate about the quality of their food and the provenance of their supplies.
They use, among others, Sextons for their bread, Rowles Butchers for their cooked meats and pies, Cheshire Tea for their teas and my little business Room Forty for scones and my jams. Pop in and see them, just don't expect my foraged fruit jams to be on sale!

There are many ways in which Co-Parenting Solutions, LLC can help you. Obviously, nobody planned to end up here, contemplating or beginning a divorce. Nonetheless, here we are…and you are not alone. In fact, you are one of fifty percent of society. While there need no longer be a stigma associated with divorce, it is still often a painful, or uncomfortable state of affairs. Co-Parenting Solutions, LLC has many solutions to ease your process.
Parenting Time Agreements and our Private Courses
In order to satisfy court requirements, you will need to present a Parenting Time Agreement. This hurdle can sometimes be the most difficult process in a divorce for families with children. We will help you get there. Co-Parenting Solutions, LLC has a straightforward guided approach. We have designed a stepped process that takes much of the tension out of the process and eliminates the guesswork.
How does it work?
Co-Parenting Solutions, LLC will guide you through two individually tailored private courses for the two of you, 8 sessions each.
Co-Parenting 101- Developing our Co-Parenting Skills and Creating a Parenting Time Agreement©
This private course is specifically for families going through separation and divorce. Developing a Parenting Time Agreement with which both parents can feel comfortable is included as part of the process. However, if a family has already created a Parenting Time Agreement, the course can be modified just to focus on skill building. Click HERE to read more about how Co-Parenting 101 can help you.
Co-Parenting 102- Advanced Development of Our Co-Parenting Skills and Bringing Our Parenting Time Agreement to Life©
This private course is for families who have finished the Parenting Time Agreement process and are now living it, or for families who have been separated/divorced for some time and want to build a deeper set of skills. Occasionally families decide to modify their original Parenting Time Agreement; Co-Parenting Solutions, LLC will provide these families with a document of proposed modifications to provide to the courts. Click HERE to read more about how Co-Parenting 102 can help you.
Working with Attorneys and the Court
There are many instances in which a neutral and confidential party can be very helpful during the divorce process. Co-Parenting Solutions, LLC offers several key intervention strategies and neutral advocate/mediation strategies that can be invaluable to you including:
- Collaborating with Family Law attorneys or Mediators to consult/advise regarding the Parenting Time Agreement, or other custody issues
- Help parents throughout the court process; counseling, consulting, support, creation of Parenting Time Agreement, etc.
- Comprehensive Divorce Mediation; Jordana Wolfson, founder of Co-Parenting Solutions, LLC, is a trained and certified Divorce Mediator and can work with divorcing couples who are either assigned a mediator by the court, or who elect to work with a mediator rather than with an attorney. Click HERE to read more about our Divorce Mediation services.
The Non-Cooperative Parent
While ideally Co-Parenting Solutions, LLC works together with both parents for optimal impact, we realize that there are times when one parent does not want to cooperate or participate amicably in the process of Co-Parenting. That does not make it impossible to Co-Parent, but does pose some unique challenges. We are here to help you find ways to make the experience more manageable for you and your children. Learn skills in dealing with difficult people that you can apply to your unique situation and help your children navigate the conflict between you and your former partner in a healthy manner. You may feel alone, but you are not – we are here to support and help you find a positive path for you and your children. Counseling, education and skill building are available for you that will help change the nature of the situation, regardless of whether or not the other parent is willing to work on changing their approach.
Counseling, Support and Education
There are many potentially difficult or painful situations during a divorce process, especially when issues of custody and Co-parenting are involved. Furthermore, everyone feels the stresses associated with transitions, and changing family structures are substantial and can be very emotional. Co-Parenting Solutions, LLC offers a wide range of discreet and confidential counseling, support and education services that can make a positive impact on the emotional process and on the outcome for the children and families involved in the divorce. Click HERE to read more about our Counseling, Support and Education services.
The Special Role of Grandparents
Divorce can be very difficult for grandparents. Often grandparents become a main source of support for their children and grandchildren. At the same time, they may experience their own grieving process, yet feel pressure to be strong for everyone and not directly deal with their own strong emotions. Grandparents are frequently caught in the middle between their own child and the divorcing spouse and may become overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, anger, depression, frustration and other intense emotions.
Having loving grandparents can be a big part of the healing process for children of divorce, yet it can be difficult for grandparents when their grandchildren have questions and concerns about their parents and the new situations and challenges they are facing.
The knowledge of how to handle these new, and sometimes difficult family dynamics, is not innate and grandparents often seek help during this trying time. Co-Parenting Solutions, LLC provides support, education and mental health counseling for grandparents to approach their grief and to better help their grandchildren and families in a healthy manner; Grandparents can be a key component for supporting Co-Parenting, therefore skill building for supporting their child and grandchildren will be part of this process.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
Lauryn Hill's day of reckoning has been delayed yet again. The singer appeared in a New Jersey courtroom today to face sentencing after failing to report $1.8 million in income to the IRS, but the judge decided to give Hill a little more time to pay the $504,000 bill. Hill's sentencing has been pushed to May 6, giving her two weeks to write a check or face jail time.
Last summer, the ex-Fugees star pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges after failing to pay Uncle Sam $1.8 million between 2005 and 2007. Hill told fans in a statement on Tumblr that she felt it was "necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family."
Hill was initially scheduled to face sentencing last November, but there was a delay that allowed her lawyers to file new legal documents with the court explaining, again, the singer's fear for her family's safety.

Post by Manal Dia
As we moved from formulating POVs to testing MVPs, our last week was busy building prototypes and gathering user reactions and insights. We began by revising our POVs based on feedback from our project partner, the teaching staff, and fellow classmates. The POV we converged on as a team focused on transitioning from middle school to high school–a common thread across our need-finding work.
A, an eighth grade honor roll student of Tongan descent, needs to navigate the transition to high school because (a) the culture class in non-EPA high schools often excludes EPA'ers, and (b) her overprotective parents have left her ill-equipped to be independent when she leaves EPA for high school.
Next, we formulated multiple HMW statements to give structure to our ideation. Our first HMW focused on making A's transition more gradual ("HMW generate connections between A and her future classmates before she goes to high school"). To better organize our brainstorming around this first HMW, we mapped out the various stakeholders in the system (teachers, parents, various school staff members, services providers including transportation) and built a list of EPA 8th graders' interests and challenges with respect to transitioning to high school. These various "maps" helped us think of unexplored spaces and opportunities.
We emerged from this process with two ideas: 1) an open gym for 8th graders that takes place at their future high school, and 2) a back-to-school group shopping trip for 8th graders and their parents. For one of our prototypes, we composed a simple flier inviting 8th graders and their parents to an open gym event at MA high school. Our goal was to instigate conversations not only to gather important missing information, but also to test some pressing assumptions, such as interest in open gyms away from EPA or curiosity about checking out high school spaces prior to going.
Our testing took us to the YMCA, where we ran our open gym prototype by J., a first year college student who had gone to Menlo Park Atherton High School, as well as M., a junior at San Jose High School. Both J. and M. seemed excited about the idea, and confirmed an interest in open gym events, especially if free transportation was provided. We noted, however, that both J. and M. resonated more with the sports activity opportunity than the high school setting. We were also taken on a tour of the YMCA facilities, and had a chance to observe how the YMCA members (most of whom EPA residents) interacted with the space. Examples of some of the things we learned, that will form a basis for our next iteration are:
The YMCA provides onsite child watch services for parents who are working out, in two separate rooms (one for children 8 weeks to 5 years old and another one for children 6 to 12 years old)
The YMCA zumba class was overflowing with energy, music, and members. BUT it was all women.
M. expressed interest in having the open gym be at multiple high schools *before* 8th graders have to provide their high school choices. He reported he felt in the dark as he and his parents were filling out where he would go to high school next.
The YMCA already runs summer programs for kids, including a high school transition program that is small but popular, called YMCA summer institute, and a summer camp program that is however considered expensive by the community.
There is a basketball open gym at CCA every sunday evening that is quite popular.
Both M and J appeared to own the space at YMCA.
As we integrated newly acquired information, we realized that there are more opportunities for youth to form cohorts than for their parents. This inspired us to pursue a different angle, represented by our second HMW ("HMW turn a first meeting of parents into sustained relationships."). Ideation clusters for this HMW statement emerged around parents' shared interests (e.g., carpools), repeated meetings, intra-city competitions/rewards (e.g., treasure hunt), building trust, physical space, and collective contribution (fundraising). In one prototype, we devised a storyboard to bring parents and 8th graders together around a shared activity during the summer prior to high school.
We've enjoyed the increase of focus that this last week has brought us, but have struggled with finding users with experience relevant to our more focused POV. We're looking forward to building on these insights for a next iteration.

Marta: 2, Speak Up: 0
Tue, 27/05/2014 - 09:51
The North London Solidarity Federation would like to thank everyone who participated in last night's Facebook blast of the Speak Up London language school. As it appears Speak Up has deleted their Facebook page entirely, the action was indeed an unqualified success.
The action was to defend Marta, a well-liked and respected receptionist who was sacked without prior warning. She was told she wasn't doing her job well because she didn't take out the rubbish one night and then failed to turn on the TV the next morning.
But we all know the real reason: Speak Up is run by two bullying bosses who sack any worker who resists their cowboy style of management.
To compound Marta's sacking, they refused to give her the pay to which she should have been entitled in lieu of a week's notice. Marta has demanded that money alongside a glowing review that highlights her lasting contributions to the success of the company.
Although the Facebook page is down, the Speak Up's Twitter feed is still active. So, let these two bullying bosses know we won't stand for their disgusting behaviour and send a tweet to:
Suggested tweets, in various languages, can be found below.
Speak Up: PAY UP
Speak Up: SALDA IL CONTO
Speak Up: Borcunu öde!

Here are excerpts from a book review by Robin Adele Greeley that appeared in the Summer 2016 Critical Inquiry. The book is Art beyond itself: Anthropology for a Society without a Story Line by Nestor Garcia Canclini.
"Artistic practice, once object-based, is increasingly founded on contexts; artworks are being "inserted in the media, urban spaces, digital networks, and forms of social participation where aesthetic differences seem to dissolve". This "de-defining" of art throws into question long-standing analytical concepts such as Pierre Bourdieu's art field that still depend on some idea of national cultures and distinct spheres of aesthetic production or (at the other end of the scale) on postmodern nomadism with its illusion of a world without borders."
"Our trouble in providing a cogent storyline for contemporary art, Garcia Canclini insists, is of a piece with our vacillations about how to confront a post 9/11, post-2008 world in which conventional categories no longer explain contemporary experience, economics and politics have become "an unconvincing display," and coherent narratives founder on the "barely explicable ruins of what globalization has destroyed". Yet it is precisely in contemporary art's ability to capture this state of incoherence that Garcia Canclini situates its capacity to address our present condition." [!]
"Garcia Canclini argues that what defines contemporary art's persuasive power is its "imminence": its ability to "[insinuate] what cannot be said," to "[say] things without pronouncing them fully," maintaining them inventively unsettled. Art's imminence is "the place where we catch sight of things that are just at the point of occurring"; it produces a "zone of uncertainty…suited not so much for direct [political] action as for suggesting the power of what hangs in suspense". Art's ability to critically embody that constitutive indeterminacy is what allows it to confront the bewildering splintering of competing or unconnected narratives." [we've seen this movie before]
"If, for Ranciere, art's politics resides not in giving marginalized social groups a means of representation but in introducing between the work and the spectator the paradox of the unanticipated, then Garcia Canclini rethinks this model, giving light to art's current postautonomous condition." [Didn't anticipate that one, did you?]
So, next time you encounter something ("just at the point of occurring") labeled art that makes no sense ("in which conventional categories no longer explain contemporary experience") and is totally incoherent, you'll have a handle on how to articulate what it is you are looking at and its significant imminence. Or not. Either way you'll be able to say "that's art!"

Magnetic therapy has been used from the days of Cleopatra. Magnetic therapy is believed to help relief health conditions such as:
Our insoles now have a built in copper heel support. Many studies have shown that copper deficiencies are linked to rheumatic aches and pains. Our insoles give you both- the benefit from the copper and magnetic field.

John Mayer Definitely Gave Katy Perry Heart-Shaped Ring
Katy and John may not be engaged yet, but a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that the heart-shaped ring Katy was spotted wearing on Valentine's Day is definitely a gift from John! So sweet.
Katy Perry was spotted leaving a romantic dinner at Vincenti in Brentwood with John Mayer on Feb. 14, while flashing a stunning red ruby ring! Find out all the details on the ring and where John purchased it from!
A source close to the couple tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, "It was purchased about a week ago in Daniel Gibbing's jewelry boutique by John Mayer. It's a one-of-a-kind Daniel Gibbings ring featuring a 12 carat ruby high-dome cabochon heart shaped center, accented by two teardrop faceted tsavorites and rubies, set in 20 karat gold."
John, 35, definitely bought it for Katy, 28, and it seems likely that it was a Valentine's Day gift! He's such a romantic.
"Yesterday was the first day Katy was spotted wearing the ring, as far as I know," our source says. In fact, John purchased it around the same time they visited Katy's parents. "I believe Katy and John were in Santa Barbara last weekend visiting her parents."
Daniel Gibbings is a Santa Barbara-based jeweler.
John Mayer & Katy Perry Are Not Engaged
Another source close to the couple tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY, "They aren't engaged and I wouldn't anticipate to see them engaged anytime soon." It seems that the ring was simply an expression of love from John.
That's a bummer! But, we are still happy to see that the couple seems to be so in love, even without the ring being an engagement ring!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should John and Katy get married?

Small Groups
ministry assists churches to create a disciple-making culture in their congregations through Bible study groups that meet at various times of the week.
Jesus said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 NIV
Small groups are based on the practice of the early church in which believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, sharing a meal and prayer (Acts 2:42). Small groups may gather at the church facility or another location, such as a group member's home.
What does it mean to use small groups to create a disciple-making culture? In part, it means being on mission to reach others in your community for Christ, help them grow in their walk with Christ and equip them to do the same.
Learn more about making disciples through your small groups ministry through our articles, resources or training events. Or reach out to our team for more information about how to make the most of small groups for the glory of God.

Before you buy: 5 Things to consider before you purchase a safety razor
Our mission is to make sure you choose a safety razor that's best for you. We think you'll find one among those listed in our reviews, but here some things you should consider before purchasing your razor:
1. Design
Safety razors come in four basic designs: one-piece, two-piece, three-piece, and butterfly head. And, butterfly open razors are actually common one-piece designs.
Without getting into too many details, here are some things you should know about design types:
1) Three-piece safety razors are probably the most popular type,
2) the two-piece design is favored by many wet shavers,
3) one-piece designs often feature a rotating handle that opens up the cutting head.
2. Double-edged
Safety razor blades are considered "double edge," meaning both you can shave with both sides of the blades.
3. Price
The price of safety razors varies widely – from less than $10 to up to $200. If you're a first-time user and don't want to spend too much, you'll still find quality razors in your more modest price range.
Not that price always make a difference, but you'll notice the difference between a high-end razor and a cheaper one.
4. The Handle
The length of a safety razor's handle also is a matter of personal preference – it all comes down to which fits most comfortably into your hand.
A longer handle usually fits bigger hands best, but some users say that using one is more awkward than using a shorter handle.
5. Adjustable Blade vs. Fixed
Most safety razors have a fixed blade, which means you can't adjust how much of the blade is exposed. But some companies are producing adjustable blade razors.
6. Weight
The weight of a safety razor varies from model to model and brand to brand. Some men feel that heavier razors provide more control.
Let's get rolling with our safety razor reviews:
The 6 best safety razors of 2020
1. Merkur Futur Adjustable Safety Razor
What is the best safety razor?
Let's begin by saying that there are a lot of contenders.
But let's continue by saying it's hard to go wrong with the Merkur Futur Adjustable Safety Razor.
Merkur has been in the business of manufacturing adjustable razors for over 30 years and they have their craft down to a science. The Futur is a high-quality razor that has a unique look and also gives users incomparable versatility thanks to six different settings.
What does a setting do? In short, it adjusts the blade exposure, with #1 providing minimum exposure while #6 reveals a lot of the blade and provides a very aggressive shave. It's handy to have those options as you adjust the blades to fit your face and facial hair.
Again, adjustable blades may seem like a relatively new thing, but Merkur's been making them since the 1980s. They've worked the bugs out.
Here are some the Futur's other features:
- It comes in smooth brushed chrome with a choice of satin, gold-plated chrome, and chrome finish depending on your preference.
- It has a longer handle than most safety razors. Gents with large hands will like the grip they get with the Futur.
- It has a nice weight to it that makes it easier to maneuver. Its weight becomes even more important the further you climb the settings ladder, so to speak, while getting more aggressive with your shave.
- It's made in Solingen, Germany. We've talked about German craftsmanship in previous posts about must-have men's grooming products. German craftsmanship almost always = good.
- While inexperienced shavers may need some time to get used to the Futur (keep it at the lower settings in early going), experienced shavers will find that it gives them as close of a shave as they've ever had.
- A variety of settings
- Solid, good-looking design
- Ideal weight
- Bulky head may be tricky to maneuver around the lip and nose area
Bottom Line
There's a reason this product is first in line for best safety razor 2020. It's quality made and will be one of the best items in your grooming kit, especially as you gain experience using it. It's the best adjustable safety razor out there. You can buy this razor with confidence.
2. Edwin Jagger DE89Lbl Lined Detail Chrome-Plated Double Edge Safety Razor
The family-owned and operated Edwin Jagger company of Sheffield, England has built a solid reputation in men's grooming circles on a foundation of fine craftsmanship and design. Their safety razors are no exception to the rule.
While they have a variety of razors from which to choose, the one we like best is their DE89Lbl chrome-plated double-edged safety razor. There are a lot of reasons why – not the least of which is that it has the best safety razor blades for sensitive skin.
It certainly is the razor of choice if you're a sensitive-skinned gent and more prone to nicks, cuts, and other potential irritations. Its body is well-designed and has great balance, and balance is a big factor regarding razors for sensitive skin.
But the DE89Lbl doesn't earn high marks just because it works so well on sensitive skin. No, it also provides a close, clean shave on any skin type thanks to Edwin Jagger's precision DE razor blade head.
It's a shave that even compares favorably with the kind you'll get with an old-fashioned straight razor.
There's plenty more to like with this razor, including its chrome finish that has a classy appearance which will last a long time. It comes in three separate pieces which make it easy to clean or replace parts if needed.
The DE89Lbl's body is not only balanced but also solidly built – so much so that it could last you the rest of your shaving life.
You don't need to exert a lot of pressure when using the DE89Lbl and that limits the number of nicks and cuts. You'll also get the kind of close shave the will reduce ingrown hairs.
You don't need to exert a lot of pressure when using the DE89Lbl and that limits the number of nicks and cuts. You'll also get the kind of close shave the will reduce ingrown hairs.
Another thing to like about the DE89bl is its handle construction made of tubular brass covered with a chrome exterior. It has a nice weight to it, but it's not as heavy as some other razors.
Each razor also comes with five Derby safety blades so that it's always shave-ready.
- Great body balance
- Excellent for sensitive skin
- Very durable
- Handle may be shorter than some prefer
Bottom Line
The Edwin Jagger DE89Lbl is, to put it simply, a high-class safety razor. It's the right razor for you if you have sensitive skin but it's also great for all skin types. Moreover, it's going to last you a long, long time.
3. Seki Edge Feather AS-DZ Double Edge Safety Razor
We all know what it's like to buy something expensive and later realize that the product or service wasn't worth the major chunk of change.
Then again, sometimes performance matches the price tag.
The latter is the case with the Seki Edge Feather AS-DZ Double Edge Safety Razor. True, it's pricier than most other safety razors, but in return for your initial cash outlay, you'll get a high-quality product that's going to last you a long time.
The Seki Edge razor features quality design and craftsmanship, and it looks good. It's made from medical-grade stainless steel.
It's also a razor that safety-razor newcomers can handle with confidence as they get used to shaving without their handy disposable razor.
Let's take a closer look at the Seki Edge's many features:
- Japanese-based Seki is known for its Feather blades, and they're among the sharpest blades you'll find anywhere, as well as being extremely efficient and effective.
- While super-sharp blades may scare off those with little or no experience in using a safety razor, the Seki Edge's precise construction enables users to get a gentle shave with every use.
- The stainless steel design of the Seki Edge is another of its essential selling points. Both the razor's handle and plate consist of stainless steel and will give you decades of use (if not last you the rest of your life). Furthermore, stainless steel is easy to sterilize and clean.
- Your Seki Edge kit comes with five stainless steel, double edge blades that will also last you a good long time. The double edge blades are handy because you don't have to replace the entire blade once one side of it becomes dull. The blades also are easy to remove and fit snugly into the shaving head so that there's little movement during the shaving process.
- The handle is compact at just under four inches long – which is shorter than some other razors – but it helps give you great control as you're shaving. There are deep grooves along the handle which give you a non-slip grip.
- The Seki Edge has a more aggressive angle to it than other safety razors, so you'll want to adjust your shaving technique to get the most efficient shave.
- You'll get a close, clean shave without irritation and there isn't a steep learning curve for learning how to use this razor.
- Seki has been in the business of making barber, grooming, and medical tools since 1908. They introduced the first replaceable blade razor to Japan in 1932.
- Stainless steel design that will last a lifetime
- Allows you to shave with little irritation
- It's easy enough for beginners to use
- Some reviewers think the handle is too short
Bottom Line
There's no getting around it: the Seki Edge safety razor is expensive. But it's also as fine of a quality of razor as you'll find anywhere and your original investment will likely last you a lifetime.
4. Parker 98R Ultra Heavyweight Long Handle Safety Razor
To say the Parker 98R double edge safety razor is a heavyweight is un understatement.
The better term is "superheavyweight" because this bad boy is big. You'll notice the difference in weight compared to other razors the minute you pick it up. It weighs 4.3 ounces, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a heavier razor out there.
And if you have larger hands, the Parker 98R should be one of your primary options when you shop for a razor.
While the Parker 98R gets a lot of attention for its weight – but not in a negative way – it must also be said that it's a quality safety razor in every other important aspect.
It consists of genuine brass construction and nickel plating and it comes in three easy to disassemble pieces that make for easy cleaning and precise blade alignment.
But let's get back to the issue of weight when it comes to razors. Specifically, is a heavier razor "better" than a lighter one? Does weight make that much of a difference?
The truth is, you can get a great shave with either a heavy or light razor and what size works for you is usually a matter of personal preference.
However, some people prefer a heavier razor because you don't have to apply as much pressure. Instead, you let the weight of the razor do the work for you.
Others prefer a lighter razor because they feel it gives them more control, particularly in tight places such as under the nose.
Yes, heavier razors tend to be more "aggressive" and you need to take care in how much pressure you apply while shaving. But once you get the hang of a heavy razor you may never go back to a lighter one.
The bottom line is that you're going to get a close shave no matter who much the razor weighs, as long as it's a high-quality razor. Truthfully, how the weight is distributed over the razor is more important to most shaving experts – the more evenly-weighted the better.
The Parker 98R has plenty of heft but it also feels comfortable in your hand. It comes with an extra-long, knurled handle that provides plenty of grip. You won't have to worry about the razor slipping from your hand as you maneuver it around your face.
Durability is another important factor in choosing a safety razor, and the Parker 98R is built to last. Should one of its three parts wear out or break; however, you'll only need to replace that piece and not the entire razor.
The Parker 98R comes with five double edge blades which you change by unscrewing the razor's head and inserting the blade. While blades come with, it also takes all standard double edge blades.
- Quality construction
- Easy to clean
- Long handle provides easy grip
- Some reviewers say they don't like the finish as much as they do on other razors
Bottom Line
The Parker 98R is a heavyweight champion in every sense of the word. It comes from a long line of excellent Parker razors made of premium construction. If you like heavier razors, it's time to grab hold of this razor.
5. Muhle R41 Open Tooth Comb Double Edge Safety Razor
The Muhle R41 has quite a reputation.
For one, it's nicknamed "The Beast." That should give you some idea of what users think of it, but "Beast" is a term of endearment in this case.
Why the nickname? Well, the Muhle R41 is among the most aggressive safety razors on the market. It's not necessarily a product that newcomers to the safety razor game should consider, but if you have some experience under your belt, you should give this one a try.
As its aggressive nature suggests, the Muhle R41 will give you a close shave – some would argue as close as a straight razor shave – without the need for applying heavy pressure.
It has an open tooth comb design that features a special blade angle made with experienced shavers in mind.
The open tooth comb design works in conjunction with the gap behind the razor's foam edge to ensure that the blade's edge is free of stubble and residue as you shave.
The Muhle R41's scalloped safety bar allows you to get a very close shave without the nicks and cuts of lesser quality safety razors. You just need to be careful that you're not hacking at your face like someone chopping limbs from a tree.
Also, you won't need to make several passes over the same spot as you're shaving.
While it has a beastly reputation, the Muhle R41 weighs less than many other safety razors and has the kind of balance expected from a top shaving company like Muhle.
You also have some options when choosing the R41 because it comes in three designs: the traditional three-piece design, the three-piece Grande, and the two-piece Twist.
The Grande design allows you to change the handle if you don't like the grip that comes with it, while the Twist is the heaviest version of the three designs and has the longest handle.
We also like the R41's chrome-plated finish that nicely represents that design and craftsmanship that's indicative of how Germany-based Muhle rolls.
- Close shave with fewer passes
- Ergonomic design
- Comes in three designs
- Inexperienced shavers must proceed with caution
Bottom Line
While this razor isn't for newbies, don't let its reputation scare you. Once you get the hang of its aggressive nature you'll be pleased with the kind of close shave you'll get every time you use it. Take it for a spin. You won't be disappointed.
6. The Chieftain Safety Razor by Vikings Blade
Vikings Blade is an underground Australian workshop that's been around for over 30 years.
Don't let the "underground" reference fool you, however, because they have nothing to hide.
The Chieftain Safety Razor is one of the many high-quality products produced by Vikings Blade and is made from high-end, durable Swedish stainless steel.
It's a great razor that should not only last you a long, long time but also comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.
We also like the Chieftain because it's a superior, manly product but also very affordable. You won't bust your budget or leave your face pocked with nicks and cuts.
Here's what else we like:
- The Chieftain comes with a micro-comb feature that makes it a razor that's easy for beginners to handle. It has a closed end that hides the blade and prevents accidental cuts.
- It has an advanced butterfly head that allows you to change blades in a matter of seconds.
- This a great razor for men with sensitive skin. If you've had problems with ingrown hairs – especially if you've been using an electric razor – this is a great razor for you.
- The handle has a deeply knurled handle and provides a sure grip even when your hands are wet.
- The shaving head is a bit smaller than others but helps you shave those hard-to-reach regions such as under your nose.
- The razor has a nice weight and is heavy enough that you don't have to push hard to get the job done. You can just let the razor do the work for you.
- Your Chieftain razor comes with a great leatherette and suede travel case (with mirror), and five platinum-coated steel blades.
- It's also a great razor for women because it's sharper and more efficient than typical razors designed for the ladies.
- High-quality craftsmanship
- Lifetime guarantee
- Great for sensitive skin
- Shorter handle may be tricky for men with larger hands
Bottom Line
It's hard not to like this razor. From the fact that it's great for newcomers to safety razors to its lifetime guarantee and durability, the Chieftain would be a great addition to your grooming kit.
9 Tips for using a safety razor like a pro
Let's be up front, fellas. Shaving with a safety razor means that you've stepped up your shaving game. You've ditched the clunker with 150,000 miles on the odometer for a Mercedes.
Welcome to real shaving.
Before your testosterone starts revving too high, however, you need to understand that using a safety razor isn't the same as using your daily disposable.
Yes, you'll get a better, more enjoyable shave with a safety razor, but you can't just hack away at your face all willy-nilly.
You'll need patience – especially if you're a newbie to the safety razor game – and sound technique. And without technique, you can cut your skin.
Let's break down the process:
1. Get your skin ready
Your first step is preparing your skin for the fine machine that is a safety razor. Wash your face thoroughly before applying a good shaving cream or soap.
The best time to shave is right after you get out of the shower. Or, you can apply a hot washcloth for a minute or so to also soften your whiskers.
2. Fresh blades are best
It only makes sense, right? The fresher the blade, the sharper its edges, and the closer the shave.
3. Don't push!
Here's the deal: Perhaps you've been using a disposable razor for as long as you can remember and your every instinct tells you to push the blade down on the skin.
But a safety razor isn't designed to be manhandled in that way; instead, you apply very little pressure and let the blade do the work. Don't worry, even light pressure will give you a clean shave.
4. It's all about the angle
Angle is everything when using a safety razor. Opening or closing your shaving angle will cut and nick your skin. The proper angle with a double-edged razor (or another type of safety razor) is approximately 30 degrees.
5. Shave with the grain
Always shave in the direction of hair growth. But keep in mind that hair grows in different directions on every man, so know your specific direction and follow it.
6. Stretch the skin
Safety razors do their best work on skin that is held tight. Use your free hand to stretch the areas that you're shaving over.
7. Less is more
We've already discussed the importance of applying less pressure when using a safety razor. The same principle is true for the number of passes you make over each area of your skin, i.e., less is more.
Never shave over the same area more than two or three times and take smaller strokes than you would with a disposable razor.
8. Rinse often
Run the blade(s) under water frequently during the shaving process to keep them rinsed and free of hair, shave cream, and other debris.
9. What about my head?
Our final tip has nothing to do with how to use a safety razor on your face but instead addresses the question of whether you can use a safety razor to shave your head. Indeed, we've discussed shaving your head in a previous post.
But to answer the question: sure, you can shave your head with a safety razor but you need to be extremely careful.
The skin "up there" is even more sensitive than the skin on your face and to shave means applying the lightest amount of pressure possible. And you sure don't want to be in a rush to get the job done.
Safety razors vs. all the rest
Many men will tell you that safety razors are the only way to go if you're serious about shaving. We'll let you be the ultimate judge of that, but we think safety razors are pretty cool, too.
Are they better than cartridge razors, straight razors, and electric razors? Again, that depends on who you talk to, what kind of shaving experience you prefer, and what you're used to when it's time to stand in front of the mirror and face the music, i.e., your whiskers.
Here's a look at the different types of razors and how they may be right (or wrong) for you.
1. Safety Razors
We don't need to go too in-depth here since we've devoted this article to safety razors. But it never hurts to get back to the basics.
The safety razor was the innovation that followed the straight razor, which we'll discuss in a moment.
Compared to the straight razor, the safety razor was quite in advancement regarding safety – fewer nicks and cuts – and introduced the men's grooming universe to replaceable blades.
The majority of safety razors today are double-edged, which means that both sides of the blade are exposed and at your service.
There are plenty of other benefits to a safety razor, including the fact that you'll save money in the long run after your initial investment.
Quality safety razors will last you a lifetime, or close to it, and replacement blades are relatively inexpensive – especially compared to disposable razor blades.
You'll also get a close shave with a safety razor, in some cases just as close as you would with an old-fashioned straight razor.
2. Straight Razor
If you want to go old-school – really old school – then the straight razor is for you. It's the razor your great, great grandfather used because he had no other choice (there were no safety razors then).
If you're not sure what a straight razor is, it's liable to show up in one of your favorite Western movies – you know, a cowboy or outlaw who's shaving on the trail with a straight razor and a piece of broken glass for a mirror.
A straight razor consists of two parts: the blade and the handle. The handle doubles as storage for the blade.
Fact: The straight razor provides the closest shave possible because you have full control of the blade since it's fully-exposed.
Fact: With the closest shave possible comes risks. The straight razor was once known as the "cut throat" razor because of the nicks, cuts, and other wounds you might incur while using it.
Fact: You need a leather strop or hone to keep the blade sharp.
Not many people use a straight razor these days. Yes, it gives you a close shave, but it takes time to master its use, time to keep the blade sharp, and the concentration needed not to hack your face to pieces while you're removing its whiskers.
3. Cartridge Razor
Cartridge razors are all about convenience.
Introduced in the 1970s by Gillette, the cartridge razor has become the razor of choice for many men simply for its ease of use and ease of purchase. Forgot your cartridge razor while traveling? No worries, practically every drug store and gas station carries them.
Cartridge razors are also easy to use and come with a fixed angle that reduces your chances of cutting yourself, and they're very portable.
But here's the thing – while you'll pay more to purchase a safety razor than you will for a cartridge razor, the price of the latter's blades tips the scale negatively in the long-term investment category.
You ever wonder why stores usually keep their disposable blade behind a locked, glass enclosure? Because the blades cost so much that theft is always a risk, that's why.
That's not to say that you can't get a great shave with a cartridge razor. There are plenty of high-quality cartridge razors out there that will trim your whiskers nicely and leave you ready to face the day.
Will you get as close of a shave as you would with a safety razor? Probably not. Don't let that discourage you, however, because quality cartridge razors will give you the kind of shave that never offends – and they're so damn convenient.
4. Electric Razor
Electric razors take convenience one step further.
Let's face it, if you don't like the prep work, "mess," or time it takes to shave with other the other razors listed here, then an electric razor is for you. I mean, you just pick the electric razor up, turn on the power button and away you go.
Electric razors come in two types: rotary and foil. Rotary shavers have three to four shaving heads with blades located behind each head. Foil shavers have a floating head with blades behind a protective metal grid.
What's the difference? Many experts will tell you have rotary shavers provide a closer shave while foil razors are easy to clean and quieter.
Electric razors also come in cordless and corded versions.
There's plenty to like about electric razors. They're lightweight, easy to carry with you, and are designed to give you a quick shave without the fuss. But they're also more apt to irritate your skin since there's usually no lubrication or prep involved.
Our secret formula: How we chose the best safety razors
OK, our secret formula is simply this: 1) a lot of research, 2) personal experience, 3) and paying attention to customer reviews.
We don't have the resources to test every safety razor available, but we rolled up our sleeves and dug deep enough to come up with a list of quality products that you'll like.
And that's all for now, friends. As always, we encourage and welcome your comments. Have you used any of the safety razors listed here? Are there other razors that you think our fellow readers would like?
Let us know!

31 May Boston Scientific Loses another Mesh Injury Trial, Ordered to Pay Plaintiff $100M
Boston Scientific has just been handed another resounding defeat, as a Delaware jury has ruled in favor of the plaintiff in a mesh injury case, ordering the manufacturer to pay her $100 million in compensation.
This verdict, which includes $25 million in compensatory damages and $75 million in punitive damages, is particularly noteworthy because it marks:
- The first verdict Boston Scientific has lost since it announced a $119 million settlement earlier this month
- The largest vaginal mesh injury verdict awarded to a plaintiff in this litigation to date
- The eighth (8th) largest verdict an American jury has awarded in a civil case so far in 2015.
Another remarkable aspect of this $100 million verdict is the fact that it came out of Delaware, one of the most corporate-friendly states in the U.S. In fact, Delaware is home to more than 50 percent of the publicly traded companies in the U.S.
Facts of the Case: What Led the Jury to Award the $100M Verdict
According to the complaint for this case (CA 11C-08-050-MMJ), the plaintiff is a 51-year-old former bank teller who had Boston Scientific's Obtryx sling implanted to treat her pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. Shortly after implantation, however, the device reportedly began to erode inside of the plaintiff, seriously damaging her internal organs.
Despite having the device surgically removed, the plaintiff has reportedly been left with permanent injuries and chronic pain.
The allegations in this case were specifically that:
- Boston Scientific's Obtryx sling was defectively designed, as it was comprised of substandard materials – some of which were not approved for use in human patients.
- Boston Scientific had failed to test the safety and efficacy of its vaginal mesh devices before bringing them to market.
- Boston Scientific had failed to warn the public of the risks associated with its vaginal mesh devices – In fact, the FDA issued a warning in 2012, noting that about 10 percent of all women with these implants (from various manufacturers) would need at least one risky revision surgery within five (5) years of implantation.
- The Obtryx sling was directly responsible for injuring the plaintiff.
Boston Scientific is reportedly planning an appeal and has yet to admit any fault or liability regarding its vaginal mesh devices. It remains to be seen, however, whether Boston Scientific will file an appeal or refocus its attention on trying to resolve the 25,000 other pending vaginal mesh cases in state and federal courts.

Loss of Green Spaces - A Concern for Many Canadians
Recent TD Friends of the Environment Foundation poll finds Canadians in both urban and rural settings value green spaces and demand more actions to protect them
TORONTO, Aug. 26, 2013 /CNW/ - According to a recently released TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF) survey, conducted by Ipsos Reid, approximately two-thirds (68%) of Canadians are concerned about the loss of green space in their community.
With a loss of these beloved spaces potentially on the horizon, Canadians indicate that they, themselves, and their community could take a more proactive role in improving their community. In fact, three in four (73%) agree that they can personally do more to contribute to a greener community, while nine in ten (85%) believe that the community should take on more responsibility to green their communities.
"Although many Canadians are concerned about the loss of green spaces in their communities, we know that many are looking for ways to make a difference," said Mary Desjardins, Executive Director, TD FEF. "TD's flagship volunteer program - TD Tree Days - offers Canadians a fun, easy way to give back. We invite those who want to lend a hand in growing the green spaces in their community to join us this Fall as we plant 45,000 trees nationwide."
Get Involved!
Over the last three years, thousands of TD Tree Days volunteers - from Brownies to bankers - have planted over 80,000 trees in urban environments across Canada.
Throughout September and early October, volunteers will plant another 45,000 trees at more than 140 events coast to coast.
To sign up for a TD Tree Days planting, visit tdtreedays.com.
TD Tree Days is part of TD Forests, which works to grow North American forest areas and encourage responsible paper use. Key elements of the program include TD Green Streets and a major conservation initiative through which TD works with the Nature Conservancy of Canada and The Nature Conservancy in the U.S. to help protect critical North American forest habitat.
Additional survey findings:
- Two in three Canadians cite local parks (64%) and provincial/national parks (63%) as being 'very important' to them and their family.
- A majority stress that trails for biking or walking (56%), local school yards (51%), and other green spaces in their community (52%) are 'very important' to them and their family.
About TD Friends of the Environment Foundation:
Since 1990, TD FEF has provided more than $60 million in funding to more than 21,000 environmental projects across Canada. In 2012, TD FEF provided more than $4.8 million in support of over 1,000 projects. Thousands of donors give to TD FEF on a monthly basis and TD Bank Group contributes in excess of $1 million annually. TD also covers the management costs of running TD FEF, which guarantees 100 per cent of every dollar donated, goes directly to funding environmental projects and programs.

-True Bypass
-Heavy duty 3PDT footswitch
-Industry standard 9-12v DC barrel jack (center negative)

-Expression pedal jack to control the "Rate" (compatible with Moog EP-3)

Developed closely with world renowned keyboardist, prolific producer, and 2 time Grammy winner Ikey Owens (Jack White's Buzzards, The Mars Volta, Free Moral Agents), this classic sounding PT-based digital/analog hybrid delay offers warm characteristics and subtle artifacts of analog and tape with the consistency and diversity of digital.
The feedback range is quite extended, allowing for more than enough self-oscillation for the experimentalist. The preamp section is completely analog and uses the infamously tasteful 4558 IC with the "Mix" control being fairly conservative to avoid over saturation and/or "muddying" of the original signal. The characteristics and tone are fairly dark.

This is a good time of the year to write down goals, redefine some, and see where you want to maintain 3, 6, 9, and 12 months from now. After writing these goals down, it is now time for you to take ACTION! The #1 thing that stops entrepreneurs within their tracks is ACTION. We've all the various tools, resources, and systems to be successful but we do not implement nothing that people have or learn. In 2010, I learned so much about Internet Marketing and Network Marketing that it will be crazy for me to "awww, none of this stuff works!"
Why would I say that Happy new year 2018 I haven't implemented anything or test anything for an extended time frame to see the results?!! We have to take action and test systems to see what works for people, what adjustments we need to make, or if we need to simply try something else. Action is going to be finished that separate the WINNERS from the LOSERS this year and Beyond! Whatever you learn and implement and test, you're bound to obtain the results you want. It is time to maneuver forward in a New Year and Take action!
Another year is approximately to close it's doors, and a fresh year will open before us. For most, recently was undoubtedly filled up with many challenges. No matter the manner in which you faced these obstacles, whether you succeeded or failed in overcoming them, in addition they included the wisdom of valuable life lessons. Each obstacle included it's own unique gift. Each darkness also held within it Light. It might not have seemed so at first. However, with retrospect and compassion for ourselves, we can undertake disappointment to uncover the wisdom and strength offered us by the experience.
No matter how filled your year was with challenges, daily also brought much to be grateful for. This New Year's Eve, before leaping into another set of resolutions, take the time to pause and think on the season gone by. Give yourself a present of time for reflection, and time sit with yourself and review previous months. Observe how far you've come. See how wonderful you're, how resourceful, and how beautiful. Review the thing that was accomplished. List the countless things you had been grateful for. List the successes you've had.
Look at your listing of desires for a year ago, including that which you did not accomplish. Think on whether those goals were crucial that you you. Were they centered on that which you think you "should" be doing, or did they result from your heart's dreams? Are they worth putting back on this year's list? What strengths will pursuing those goals uncover within you?
This is a perfect opportunity to compassionately reevaluate last year's life, habits, and choices. Did your beliefs and actions bring more peace for your requirements and those around you? Did they expand joy and fulfillment? Did you create meaningful experiences? The purpose of reflection is always to reconnect with who you are and notice where you've been. By looking backward, we are able to opt to "turn the page" about what we no further desire, and move ahead in a heartfelt direction.
