Is my respirator not effective since I have a well kept beard? Also, I work construction and have a full blown respirator says it's rated p100. If shit hits the fan do you know if that's gonna work?
The problem is that you don't get a good seal around the mask. So, air flows in around the edges instead of through the filter.
I don't know about your full blown respirator. One way to check it: seal the air intake (if possible), and suck in air through your nose and mouth. Does it stick to your face, or does air leak in around the edges?
That's how I check the seal on my dive/snorkel mask.
The dude needs an n95
That's just like, your opinion, man.
I know you are joking, but people with beards can't wear them. They have to use something called a PAPR:

I see doctors wearing them and wonder: do you really need a beard these days?
One shaved his off because of the shortage
but I meant it in a photoshop battle type of way
I thought was pretty funny. But for some reason, someone downvoted you.
I tried to do it in GIMP but I gave up. Couldn't figure out how to parse the layers. I'm not paying for photoshop for a meme
