Panasonic LV-67 Shaver

For those closer and gentler shaves, accept nothing less than Panasonic’s Electric Shaver and its wildly adaptive features. An ultra-fast linear motor cultivates exceptional power and up to 70,000 cross-cutting actions per minute, getting the job done quickly and efficiently. Speaking of efficiency, its five arched nano-polished blades—including 30-degree inner blades—are designed to lay flat against the skin and tackle facial hairs of all types and sizes.
What, you thought we were done? We haven’t even mentioned the product’s multi-flex 16D contour head, which is capable of moving in 16 different directions as it follows the unique lines of your face and neck. Meanwhile, built-in shaver technology detects beard density at 220 times per second and automatically adapts accordingly. This is a lean, clean, and mean machine that steadily improves upon your grooming routine. It’s 100% waterproof and available now.

Founded in 1914, lifestyle brand Sportscraft remains at the very forefront of Australian apparel. High-quality craftsmanship is the name of their game and they continue to deliver it one decade after the next, inspiring customers from all walks of life. For Father’s Day, they have a plethora of different shirts to suit every dad, with an ample selection of different prints, colours, and designs.

Take a proverbial walk down Sportscraft’s virtual aisle and you’ll see that they’ve truly accounted for every type of wearer. Consider the Butler Short Sleeve Shirt, for example, which delivers an unmistakable visual impression by way of its abstract floral pattern. Or maybe you’re in the market for something a little more minimalist. Look no further than the Long Sleeve Linen Shirt, which offers the height in comfort and versatility, making it the perfect go-to as the warmer months approach, or the Oxford Long Sleeve, which comes available in a variety of monochromatic hues.
Featuring premium cotton and linen blends, Sportscraft shirts will spoil you silly. There may be lots to choose from, but no matter where you land, you’re picking up the kind of brilliant Aussie quality that only this label can provide. Dad’s wardrobe is waiting…

IWC Big Pilot’s Watch 43
In partnership with IWC and Watches of Switzerland
IWC Schaffhausen’s iconic Big Pilot’s timepiece in 43mm is the gift that can be passed on through generations. Originally launched in 46mm, the IWC Big Pilot’s Watch 43 scales things down whilst still rendering a major impression. True to the range, it eschews superfluous detail in favour of sturdy construction and bold minimalist design. That’s not to mention the thematic underpinnings, such as a legible dial face that draws upon functional cockpit instruments, and an oversized conical crown inspired by 1940s military observation watches.
Flip the Big Pilot’s Watch 43 over and peer through the sapphire glass case back to behold an in-house 82100 calibre and its Pellaton winding system. Reinforced with ceramic components, the automatic movement offers an impressive power reserve of up to 60 hours. Speaking of performance, IWC’s iconic sports watch is now water-resistant to a full 10 bar. Get one for Dad at Watches of Switzerland, in stainless steel with a striking blue dial face and matching calfskin strap and you just might see him gasp in ecstasy like a little boy on Christmas day.
