I bought 5 packs of face masks the other day, 10 masks to a pack. I opened the first pack and tried them all, there were a couple of good ones, 3 that were sort of ok and the rest were rubbish, sound familiar?

John: are these masks manufactured by Vandoren?

You need to learn how to adjust your face masks. There's an easy system by Dr Roxy Chloroquine called ATV (Against the Virus) which allows me to use almost all masks from the box.
Alternatively you could try plastic masks, but make sure to only tie them to your face using plastic cords, otherwise you won't get game-changing results.

Thank you Liquorice but I was joking! A bit like the light bulb joke, you know, how many clarinetists does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one but he needs a box of 10 to find the best one.

Oh dear, sense of humour bypass here, the joke’s on me! Sorry Liquorice, too subtle on first reading! Doh!

Sorry JohnP, it's probably my fault- irony often gets lost in digital communication. Anyway, good luck finding a good face mask!

I have a white beard. What color mask should I be using to make sure that it works well?

Ear loops or tie around? leather or plastic "ligature"? Regular position or inverted? What's the best tool for balancing each side?

Mark- you have to decide if you want it to be brighter or darker.
Many like the one that Bonade wore when he was principal in Philadelphia during the 1918 pandemic.

I heard from someone who bought a great face shield. He says it is the best and everyone uses them. He had to try 20 to find one that seemed to fit, after which time he sent it to one of a few people in the country who specializes in completely rebuilding and adjusting it to be perfect. It seems that many parts are not well adjusted out of the factory. The adjustments add considerably to the cost, but I was told it is the only way to go. Right now he says it is amazing, but he only wears it about 15 minutes a day and is gradually increasing the time. He is already considering replacing some parts with some that have been handmade out of very rare materials.

I don't like it when people say my masks improve my appearance, but better still if I could cover my whole face up. I think that in these sade times of infection, all wrestlers should wear masks and all boxers should wear gloves.
