Now that I don't go into work anymore due to the virus, I'm thinking about running the hockey playoff beard until it's over.  Hoping not to look like Rumpelstiltskin.    Not sure if I spelled that right.  Who's with me?

If I didn’t think I’d be tripping over it by the time this is over, I’d join ya.

 

Only one way to find out!

I wish ... retired, but work Extra Help, for my old department (have a few upcoming shifts). No beards allowed. Hmm...that was because it wasn't a good look for outsiders to see (not professional). Nobody, with the exception of more inmates, is allowed into the jail at this time. Maybe it could fly.

        As a long time beard grower, maybe someone in this thread can tell me how well beards go with face masks.  I was wondering if I would have to shave mine off in order to get a good seal.  I believe I would have to.

       Years ago we did a project on a pipeline pumping station.   When the engineer went out to start it up, he had to shave off his beard to wear the mask.  This was more of a gasmask type mask but it is what made me think about this in the first place.

Can you get a surgical  mask to cover it?

Yeah if you need to wear a mask the beard will have to go.  I used to work at a place where we got fitted for a mask if we worked in certain areas and the guys with beards had to shave.

What would yield a bigger beard?

 

1) Don't shave until COVID-19 is under control

2) Don't shave until Josh Allen passes for 300 yards in a game

I'm willing to grow a beard, not play for ZZ Top.

The N95 masks are fitted and you will have to shave.  The general purpose masks that you would see in the dentist office - no.

 

I know that Jose Andres who is primary force for World Central Kitchen had to shave his.

 

Things may have changed since I was in the fire service, but those breathing apparatus required no beard for a proper seal.
