An article from The New York Times about how the world’s oldest barber is still cutting hair age 107.

Mr Mancinelli still works full-time having started cutting hair age 11. He credits his longevity to putting in a satisfying day’s work, having never smoked and has never drank heavily.

A great article for Culture and Identity (Age) and Work, Poverty and Welfare.
