We’ve compiled some of

If you favour the clean look over facial hair, then shaving is probably the lengthiest part of your getting-ready routine. For something that takes so much effort to then ruin your look with splodgy red marks all over your money-maker seems as unfair as life can get. Don’t panic, ditch the trimmer and go full-on

The Liberals won 157 out of 338 seats—27 fewer seats than in 2015, and 13 seats less than the 170 needed to form a majority
If you’re under five-foot-nine (the average height of a British man) then you’ll know the pain of shopping on the high street. Most clothes aren’t cut for men of your stature, the thinking going that though hems and cuffs can be taken up, they can’t be lengthened. Which is true, but for short men, it

New York, New York – the city so great they named it twice. Home to arguably the greatest art gallery in the world, the greatest skyscraper, greatest park, probably the greatest public toilet if you look hard enough. Sure it’s busy, the cab drivers intimidating, and a cup of Joe will set you back a

The Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act (PCEPA), enacted by the Conservatives in 2014, was heavily criticized by advocates and workers for criminalizing
Breitling – a brand synonymous with aircraft and flight. And for good reason. Before it made itself an essential piece of a pilot’s toolbox, it made dashboard clocks for planes and military chronographs. But none of these are as famous as the Navitimer. The most celebrated pilot’s watch of all, and arguably one of the

MacDonald, Canada’s first Prime Minister and architect of the residential school system that saw thousands of First Nations children taken from their homes, through to Justin Trudeau and his recent attempt to quash
Along with death and taxes, it’s a certainty in life that 90 per cent of what’s cool right now will be an embarrassment in 20 years’ time (is anyone willing to admit to owning a Female Body Inspector T-shirt?). In the same way that you can look back at old photos of yourself in bootcut

Paperwork was presented for her to sign, then she had an ultrasound and saw a counselor, who was informative and left her feeling comfortable for the next step. Nobody guilted her
Acne sucks, no matter where it pops up. But when it appears in a less traditional place, like the chest, then it’s all the more confounding and frustrating. Most guys are used to getting the occasional pimple on their forehead, or maybe on their back or butt. But chest acne, while less common, is actually
