My Manager was starting to look at me funny anyways, my balls are still there and good.
You guys don't have a PAPR? They suck but it beats shaving. Plus, bee keeper looks good on someone. I dot even have to go to N-95 fit testing.Had a beard from August '12 till the end of October and I shaved it off. I also shave my head year round, let it stay 1/4" or so during the winter, but when I shaved my beard for the first time in over a year, I felt like I looked like a white grape. Haven't shaved for a month, feeling normal again.
Problem with having a beard is if I have a TB patient or something else that requires a true respirator, I have to go to my locker and get my razor and shave it off. Made it 14 months or so on the last beard. We'll see how long this one can go.
