Nail A Real Gift For Your Father, This Father’s Day [COMPETITION]

COMPETITION CLOSED Over the last few weeks, we’ve discussed fatherhood, and what it meant to the men of yore. My father, for example, was the keyboardist in McCully Workshop, a band famous for regularly melting faces (and hearts) in the greater South African geographical area.

Old Spice: Make Your Dad Feel Like Clint Eastwood On Father’s Day

Cast your mind back to your days as a wee lad, or lass. Barring an unfortunate condition of some kind, the chances are that your father shaved. He definitely shaved. Nay, he shaved, definitely.
