Beards - Given Unto Man

[twinpines]

Just curious, what is someone to do that can't wear a beard for work reasons because for example they have to wear a special mask due to working with chemicals.

Back in the day, whenever I was a youngster, beards weren't allowed when attending firefighting school. Couldn't get an air pack mask to seal up. True story. I was there. You young bucks have no clue the struggles we had....

Is that why mustaches are popular in fire departments?

I'd be in the same boat. All I could wear is a small mustache.
