Dante Fazzina

DANTE FAZZINA/
FOOD ADVISOR AND CHEF
I' had my moustache for three years and I trim it myself. I wouldn't shave to keep a job. I do what I like-otherwise I change jobs.

ENGLISH TEACHER
My goatee is ten years old. I trim it with an electric shaver with a twin overdrive facility. If it came down to the hair or the job, naturally, I could never be separated from my facial hair.

My facial hair is only two months old. I trim it myself. Would you shave or quit your job? Both!

What time does a man acquire a five o'clock shadow? How long does a decent moustache take to grow? This week we hit the streets and pose some hairy questions: do you maintain your own growth and would parting with your facial hair be a case of "not by the hair on my chinny chin chin"?

I've had my goatee for ten years and maintain it myself. Sometimes I have a barber trim it. Choosing facial hair over a job? No choice!

TRANSLATOR
This goatee is two years old and I trim it myself. I chose this job as a freelancer so as to not be forced to shave my beard or moustache.
