My dad was such a person for 35 years (and I was for 8 years). I am well aware of the reason why that is a requirement (and I agree with it).GannonFan wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 1:47 pmI'm not saying I'd advise you to shave or not, just pointing it out. I know in places where I've worked and places that had either N95 masks or half/full face respirators, it was a requirement for employment that people who had to wear them had to be clean shaven. Frankly, the things don't work as intended in the presence of facial hair.Winterborn wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 12:56 pm
As a person whose facial hair has reached art status, my words of encouragement to somebody that suggest this plan would be to tell them to "Get Bent".
And twirl my mustache as they are digesting those words.
For this topic, I would take my chances with the people policing such a policy. If we are at the level of mandating facial hair or not, there are other topics of discussion that need to be address first.
Besides, I identify as Norse and a beard is part of my perceived religion.
