What kind of mask are you wearing?

[Midwayman]

Masks are for sheep who think this whole coronavirus thing is real.

(what a lot of people on my Facebook feed would say lol)

Have you ever tried to get a mask on a sheep? I had to wear my extra deep rubber booties.

Here is a suggestion, stand in front of the sheep, unlike your normal position.

olds' basement is still a mask-free zone

Unless it's this mask:

also i went through a drive-thru tonight and the goth kid was wearing his mask around his neck

Ah, the ol' "Chin Diaper". Most effective COVID preventer out there

Seriously, though... does ANYONE in Florida wear masks? When I watch Cleetus McFarland videos on YouTube (Hell yeah, brother!), there isn't a mask to be seen.

That, sir, is how you get a sheep bite.

Best I've used:

3M N95's. I bought them for wildfire smoke in N. California way before the pandemic. I was working on my garage, trying to finish before the rains 3 years ago, needed masks to survive. I got them cheap off Ebay. I had bought some non-3M N95s locally that sucked. One 3M order off ebay had vents, and I wear them skating the streets daily. The other set are 3M 9210, which have no vent, so are better for the pandemic. Both 3M sets fit perfectly when I am careful how I put them on. They also work best when I'm clean shaven, and if I'm concerned about infection I will shave before going out with one. I gave away more than a dozen 3M N95s but now I'm holding onto them.

Surprising amount of my co-workers decided now was a great time to grow a beard.

Anyone else getting friggin acne on their nose because of the masks? First it was the surgical mask, and now a black cotton form-fitting one.

Really, it's the time to shave it off. Didn't shower today, but shaved a Van Dike to accommodate my N95 for my skate.

When I was strictly shelter in place a few months ago I grew a beard for maybe 2 weeks but gave up. The itchiness! Ordered some beard wax but shaved before it arrived. A Van Dike doesn't bother me much in comparison. Doesn't interfere with an N95 either.

The 2 pack from target, haha.

Nope. Maybe you need to check your hygiene and diet.

Doesn't explain why it wasn't an issue whatsoever before the masks. I've heard of others and was wondering if it's a more widespread issue.

At the gym - Under Armour
Out and about without glasses - Adidas
Out and about with glasses - standard surgical style mask with the wire around the nose so my glasses don't fog

I ordered a Tom Binh v3 after seeing some good reviews. Its good but still fogs up my glasses a little bit. They just came out with the v4 thats apparently better for that, so I may try that one. https://www.tombihn.com/collections/facemasks

Apparently ones that don't work. I'm home sick and waiting for the results of the test.

 

[DigDog]

i wear the mask of a normal man

 

[Geekbabe]

My job gives me N95’s today I wore a 3M 8210, they switched me over to the 3M 9105 recently because they leaves less bruises my face. We have mask reuse program so I have to be careful with them

 

[nutxo]

I just got my results,. by text apparently. Just the flu.

So with a mask and continuously washing my hands I still caught the flu.....

 

[Lanyap]

I have a couple from a local shop that I got in March and then I also have a set of 5 from Hanes.com. I have some KN 95s from Aliexpress but I don't wear them regularly. Cloth mask is enough.

Here’s my old Hanes mask.



I picked up some newer Hanes masks recently. I heard Hanes converted a jock strap factory to a mask factory so the new ones fit better.

Okay. Thank you so much for your helpful comments. Now I feel comfortable to buy this mask.

i have some round face masks that come from china and say N95 on it but i suspect they are not real N95.
I normally dont wear those because they hurt, but rather wear the rectangular standard ER mask that come 5 to a packet of £1. much looser fit, they are meant to stop spit, and while they have *some* effectiveness against flu, they are less than idea. They do however fit better with a beard.

You might wanna shave that beard... or at least the part of your face where the mask would make good contact without a beard. I do that between full shaves. I full shave ~2x/week.
