The final part of the festive countdown concludes by taking you from the 15th of December right up until Christmas Day itself. Enjoy…

Let’s continue now with part two of my festive guide, starting on the 8th…

For the next month I’ll be posting a week by week guide to help you survive the festive period. By following this handy planner, you can be sure you’ll remain the perfectly dressed and groomed gentleman throughout this holiday season.

So without further ado, let’s take a quick look at your first week in the grips of festivities beginning with December the first (which is a Tuesday by the way)…

After reading my recent article, “Men’s Oral Health: Controlling Bad Breath”, a regular reader got in contact to ask a quick question relating to the subject. I’m afraid it was part of a longer email, so I’ll have to paraphrase as best I can:
