Ugh i don’t want to step up from the n95 k to the p100 respirator means i gotta shave my beard for a good mask seal. : p
Everyone thinks *i’m sick when they see me in a mask with my post-covid cough and it’s like nah, y’all are the heralds of nergal i’m just vibing.
I’ve heard positive things online about the envo mask from folks with beards. Might have to do a bit of shaping for it tho.

A couple years back i shelled out for a real fancy full face dual filter cartridge respirator. It rocks, it really does. It’s this huge bane looking thing with a face shield and everything but it’s more comfortable than a paper mask. Only downside is no one can understand me when I talk. : (
I thought I had the same issue, so I tried out one with a speaking diaphragm to help out. Turns out a lot of people were just pretending not to be able to hear me! I figured that one out after deciding to calmly recite a small collection of cursewords and insults every time someone tells me they can’t understand and seeing the looks on their faces.
My principled commitment to non-violence vs. My steadily growing rage at the banal cruelty of society.
Hmm, if it’s full face, does it have enough room for a bluetooth lavalier mic or something?
I’ve long thought about combining something like this (cw: masked women in a skimpy Harley Quinn cosplay)

I don’t know about for bearded people, but I own an Envo Pro and have had to stop wearing it for work because it was hurting my face. I still wear it if I’m going out for less than like 2 hours but just wanted to warn others since it’s kind of expensive.
